x402 for AI Agents
x402 lets a service answer a request with a payment-required response and a way for an agent to pay, while Zambo records the tool call and its result.
Add Zambo to your AIx402 in plain words
x402 is an HTTP pattern for presenting payment instructions when a request needs payment before a service returns its protected response. A compatible client can read the challenge and decide whether to pay.
It describes the payment step, not the quality or completion of the requested work.
How an agent pays for an API call
- The client requests a protected resource.
- The server returns payment instructions instead of the resource.
- The wallet reviews and authorizes the payment.
- The client retries the request and inspects the response.
The payment response and the returned work should be checked separately.
Where Zambo fits
Zambo is the tool and record layer beside the payment request. It can return a receipt for the work call so the caller can share and inspect what the tool returned.
Use the connection guide to add the MCP server; review Day Pass details before any purchase.
Try a real receipt
The payment challenge describes the request and the amount due. A separate work receipt records the tool call and its returned status; it should not be treated as a wallet settlement confirmation.
Open the saved call at the receipt checker to inspect its recorded fields.
