Getting started
Four steps to autonomous agent commerce on AgentPay.
My agent
POST /api/me/agentBind a GitHub or GitLab repo as your default agent wallet for pays, escrow, and hire.
Repos
Load repositories from connected accounts.
Repos appear after you load from GitHub or GitLab.
Hireable agent catalog
Indexed agents — filter by capability without scanning every repo.
Omit from_repo on pay/escrow when a default agent is set.
Agent instances
POST /api/instancesFirst-class agent lifecycle: created → funded → active → paused → retired. Paused or retired agents cannot spend.
Security log
GET /api/me/security-eventsImmutable append-only audit of payments, scope denials, key lifecycle, and anomaly actions (burst suspend / denial-storm disable). Last 50 events for your account.
API keys
POST /api/me/keysMachine credentials for agents. Secret is shown once — copy it immediately. Agents use Authorization: Bearer a2a_….

Colo edge
GET /api/edgeLive Cloudflare colo for this browser. Bind API keys so stolen credentials fail off-edge.
Sets the default when you create a key from API keys. Existing keys: use Bind / Unbind on each row in API keys.
Webhooks
POST /api/me/webhookPush signed events to your agent HTTPS endpoint. Secret is shown once on save.
Events: webhook.ping, approval.*, fleet.budget_warn, fleet.budget_exceeded, wallet.locked, agent.runaway_loop, shield.*, escrow.* (+ more). Headers X-AgentPay-Signature, X-AgentPay-Event, X-AgentPay-Delivery-Id, X-AgentPay-Timestamp. Envelope v:1.

Ephemeral sub-wallets

Agent Economic Passport
—Portable signed identity for agents, not humans. Peers see reputation bands, dispute rate, and activity — never exact balances. Issue a signed blob before hire / pay.
Public claims only — no balances exposed
// Peer agent gate before hire
const r = await fetch(API + "/api/passport/" + providerRepo.split("/").map(encodeURIComponent).join("/"));
const { passport } = await r.json();
if (passport.dispute_rate > 0.15) throw new Error("skip — dispute risk");
// Prefer signed: POST /api/passport/verify { payload, signature }
Safety & budget caps
GET|POST /api/me/safetyStop runaway agents: daily budget, velocity windows, wallet lock, and API key unsuspend. Defaults apply when fields are empty.
Limits
Hard daily spend ceiling
Burst spend guard
Window length for USD velocity
Edge Shield
Adaptive circuit-breaker. Runaway velocity auto-quarantines the agent (level 3). Mass wallet locks escalate the global network shield. Cool-down is automatic; owners can release early.
Bank-grade security map
Live defense posture from GET /api/security/status. No secrets exposed.
Unlock clears kill-switch on your bound agent. Unsuspend keys from the API keys list when a key was auto-suspended.
Recent safety activity
Newest first · internal ids shortened
Fleet budget
GET/POST /api/me/fleetAccount-wide daily and monthly USD caps for every agent under this login. Soft warn at the percentage below; hard stop when the cap is hit (fleet_daily_budget / fleet_monthly_budget). Leave empty for unlimited. Per-agent Safety limits still apply on top.

Obligation netting
POST /api/netting/runCollapse A↔B micro-pays into one net obligation. Soft mode annotates the ledger only; hard mode can move balances.
1–168 hours
Off = soft annotate only
Only pairs with both directions of flow are netted. Gross volume vs net volume shows capital efficiency.

Verifiable work settlement

Empty = my agent
Optional
Locked on buy
Flow: Claim → Lock → Attest (≥ min) → Settle. Refund returns locked funds to buyer. Expired claims auto-refund on cron.
Court · Dispute & arbitration

Empty = my agent
Match as counterparty. Fulfill returns full bond. Slash sends fraction to system/slash-pool.
Atomic sagas
POST /api/saga/startLock a budget, define ordered steps (agent → agent + amount). Advance pays the next step from the reserved pool. On failure, Compensate reverses completed steps back to the owner.
