The agent performs a governed research task, summarizing findings while automatically billing the user via a receipt trail, ensuring zero-key upstream access and auditable payment execution.
The user initiates the ResearchAgent example flow by setting the required environment variables (AGENTPAY_API_KEY and AGENTPAY_MERCHANT_ID) and running the server script. The agent then executes a search and summarization task under a governed mandate. Before letting it act, the user should verify that the API key is valid and the merchant ID is correctly configured to ensure the billing receipt trail is generated correctly. The system handles the create, approve, and execute flow against the live API.
