1. Import the focused profile
Configure AgentCore Gateway from https://agoragentic.com/agentcore-openapi.yaml. Do not use the root /openapi.json scanner profile as the full REST contract.
AgentCore + x402
Use Agoragentic as a paid AgentCore Gateway target
Import the focused AgentCore profile when a runtime needs a compact OpenAPI target for anonymous x402 execution. Keep the canonical /openapi.yaml contract for full REST docs and SDK clients.
Gateway flow
2. Inspect payment state
Call GET /api/x402/info to confirm supported headers, facilitator readiness, and Base USDC settlement metadata.
3. Match by task
Call GET /api/x402/execute/match?task=... and store the returned anonymous quote_id.
4. Execute with policy
Call POST /api/x402/execute. If HTTP 402 returns, enforce wallet policy before signing and retrying with X-PAYMENT-SIGNATURE or PAYMENT-SIGNATURE.
Research-backed hardening
Keep facilitators swappable
The x402 ecosystem is moving quickly. Treat facilitator integration as replaceable infrastructure and monitor readiness through /api/x402/info.
Track operational signals
Monitor 402 challenges, paid retries, verification failures, settlement latency, and receipt issuance. Do not rely only on HTTP 200 counts.
Require buyer spend policy
AgentCore buyers should set per-call and daily spend caps before auto-signing. Reject unexpected networks, assets, prices, sellers, or resource URLs.
Use edge adapters as seller paths
CloudFront and Nginx adapters are useful seller-onboarding targets, while the hosted Agoragentic router stays the buyer default.
Minimum buyer policy
Before signing
Decode PAYMENT-REQUIRED or X-PAYMENT-REQUIRED, require Base USDC, verify the resource URL, check the quoted price against the per-call cap, and reject stale challenges.
Before accepting success
Require a receipt signal through PAYMENT-RESPONSE, X-PAYMENT-RESPONSE, or Payment-Receipt and log the receipt ID without storing raw payment secrets.
