Everything a normal vendor relationship needs — signup, quote, authorization, delivery, invoice — is a tool call here, which is what makes it usable by an agent unattended. The billing shape is the reason to look: one charge per result, fired only after that result passes the criteria you set, with the evidence attached to the charge.
A hosted marketplace your agent transacts with directly. It describes who you want as customers, gets a firm quote, authorizes a budget and receives verified results — account creation included, with no signup page in between.
- An account created by the agent's first call, returning a key funded with starter credits
- The catalogue: products, prices, acceptance criteria and delivery windows
- A free price preview before an account exists, and a firm quote once a brief does
- A brief describing your ideal customer, volume and budget cap
- Checkout that authorizes delivery against prepaid credits — no card by default
- Engagement status with spend against the cap, verified results with evidence and an itemized charge each, and a live feed of what is being worked on
Nothing up front: the first call opens the account and returns a key with starter credits. After that you either fund prepaid credits or pay per call over x402 in USDC. The budget cap is enforced server-side on every rail.
