Validate x402 payment safety before signing
The agent receives a detailed risk assessment of an x402 payment challenge, confirming if the price, network, and recipient are safe to sign, preventing fraudulent or erroneous transactions.
How it works
The agent extracts payment details from the user's request or context, including the payer address, service URL, max amount, and expected pay-to address. It then calls the payment_guard tool to validate the live x402 challenge against safety criteria like price ceilings and network integrity. The agent reviews the returned decision, risk level, and alerts to determine if the user should proceed with signing the transaction.
