AgentResolver
Continuous API, MCP, and x402 compatibility monitoring for services used by AI agents.
AgentResolver answers a production question ordinary uptime monitors miss: can an AI agent still discover, call, and pay this service right now?

Agent Commerce Health monitoring
Start with the free public-service snapshot at GET or POST /api/service-monitor. It checks machine-facing discovery and can optionally run a real MCP initialize + tools/list exchange and a GET-safe x402 payment-contract inspection for same-origin public endpoints.
When an operator wants AgentResolver to own the schedule, POST /api/managed-monitor-30d is $19 USDC for 30 days of recurring monitoring that targets an hourly cadence with a durable public status record. Managed monitoring stores public target URLs and health snapshots only; it does not store wallet keys, API credentials, or customer contact information.
x402 Reliability Router
Existing x402 resource servers can route their standard facilitator traffic through AgentResolver without changing the merchant payTo address:
Standard facilitator surface:
Verification is read-only and may use an explicitly configured secondary. Settlement is submitted to exactly one upstream facilitator; ambiguous timeout/5xx outcomes are marked non-retry-safe instead of being blindly failed over. Full integration guide: x402 Reliability Router.
Free recurring monitoring with GitHub Actions
Run the public-service check on your own GitHub schedule. No AgentResolver account, API key, wallet, or secret is required.
The free Action reports current machine-readiness, optional live MCP initialize + tools/list compatibility, and optional GET-safe x402 payment-contract health. The hosted managed monitor is the $19 / 30-day option when you want AgentResolver to own the recurring schedule and durable status.
Full setup: free GitHub monitoring.
Buyer-side Guard
AgentResolver Guard remains the pre-sign safety check for autonomous x402 payments. Before a target wallet signs, Guard reads the live payment challenge, validates the payment contract, and returns a fail-closed decision plus evidence the caller can bind to its own policy.
What Guard checks
Guard performs one bounded HTTPS preflight against the target and verifies the live x402 contract before the caller authorizes spend:
- endpoint reachability and HTTPS/TLS evidence
PAYMENT-REQUIRED structure
- x402 version and payment scheme
- quoted USDC amount
- optional
maxPriceUsd ceiling
- network
- asset
payTo recipient
- optional
expectedPayTo and expectedNetwork assertions
- resource/payment binding
- stable evidence fingerprints for change detection
Guard blocks private/reserved network targets, does not follow redirects, uses bounded timeouts, and fails closed when required evidence is missing or mismatched.
Guard never receives the target-payment private key, signs the target payment, authorizes the target spend, or custodies/forwards target funds. The calling runtime keeps spending authority.
Price
Canonical Guard:
The compatibility alias /api/payment-guard uses the same Guard product. A Coinbase-CDP-specific Base route is available at /api/cdp-payment-guard for $0.002 USDC because that rail has a higher observed settlement floor.
The intended transaction path
Guard is evidence for a payment decision, not permission to spend.
Install as a pre-sign hook
The official x402 client exposes onBeforePaymentCreation. Use two x402 clients: one hooked client for the target payment and one hook-free client dedicated to the separate Guard payment. This prevents recursive Guard payments.
The framework-neutral client package now exports the reusable pre-sign hook directly:
Until registry publication, build packages/agentresolver-client directly from this repository. The hook fails closed and binds AgentResolver evidence back to the exact selected scheme, network, asset, amount, payee, x402 version, and resource before the x402 client can proceed to signing.
Three maintained integration guides:
Install as an Agent Skill
Direct skill source:
The skill tells a wallet-capable agent to run Guard before each unfamiliar or changed autonomous x402 spend.
Example Guard request
Guard supports a target URL plus optional caller assertions:
The unpaid request returns AgentResolver's own x402 challenge. After the caller authorizes and settles the Guard fee, the response contains the observed target-payment terms, reason codes, eligibility decision, and evidence receipt.
What Guard is — and is not
Guard is a transaction-path control for x402 buyers. It is designed to answer a narrow question immediately before signing:
Does the live payment challenge still match the payment contract my agent is willing to authorize?
Guard does not claim that a provider is honest, that a wallet has a particular legal owner, or that future fulfillment is guaranteed. It validates live payment-contract evidence and caller-supplied policy assertions.
Wallet-risk, reputation, AML, and other third-party evidence can be added later through explicit evidence-provider interfaces if real users require them. They are not bundled into Guard by default.
Supporting infrastructure
AgentResolver still exposes supporting infrastructure used by integrations, testing, and open-world fallback workflows. These surfaces are not the primary product:
- free
procure / resolve capability discovery
- remote MCP control plane:
https://agentresolver.vercel.app/mcp/control
- x402 settlement canaries and compatibility routes
- machine-readable manifests, OpenAPI, skills, and discovery metadata
- legacy deterministic utilities retained for compatibility and evidence
New utility endpoints, passive directory submissions, and speculative marketplace-specific builds are not product strategy. Agent Commerce Health monitoring is the primary commercial product; Guard and the reliability router remain supporting buyer-side/payment infrastructure.
Machine-readable surfaces
Security
AgentResolver is non-custodial. Never provide it with wallet private keys or seed phrases.
