## How to call us

Every paid route returns 402 Payment Required without an `X-Payment` header,
with payment requirements encoded in the `payment-required` response header
(base64-encoded JSON, x402 V1/V2 schema). Pay 402 → resend with payment header
→ get JSON back. Standard x402 client libraries handle this for you:

## Products

### _MAKO Trust Layer

Trust, scoring, and intelligence for paid x402 services. Every Verifier call
seeds the ledger that powers Pulse, Reputation Score, and Pricing Index.

- POST /api/agent-commerce/verify  $0.25 USDC  — paid x402 preflight: check
  any other paid agent's discovery metadata, route schemas, payment options,
  and settlement readiness. Returns a callable verdict, recommended route,
  and signed receipt.

- GET /api/pulse/score             $0.02 USDC  — endpoint reliability score
  (0-100) for any URL we've seen, with callable rate, schema compliance,
  settlement success, latency p50/p95, and confidence-by-volume over a
  configurable window (7d, 30d, 90d, all).

- GET /api/reputation/wallet       $0.03 USDC  — seller-wallet trust derived
  from the verification history of every service that wallet operates.
  Returns a tier (trusted, reliable, developing, unreliable, unknown).
  Structurally compatible with emerging ERC-8004 reputation semantics.

- GET /api/pricing/index           $0.02 USDC  — per-category USDC pricing
  benchmarks (median, p25, p75) across the _MAKO ledger. For setting
  max_price, auditing past spend, or benchmarking your own listing.

### _MAKO Governance Ops

DAO governance signal, paid by the request. Source-linked Snapshot and
Tally data, no LLM tax unless you want it.

- GET /api/governance/proposal-signal  $0.05 USDC  — recent Snapshot proposal
  metadata (deadlines, choices, scores, urgency). For agents polling
  governance hourly.

- POST /api/governance/weekly-brief    $1.00 USDC  — full source-linked DAO
  governance brief with summaries. Markdown output. Set skip_model=true to
  bypass the local LLM and get deterministic excerpts.

## Network + payment

All routes settle on Base mainnet (eip155:8453) in USDC via the Coinbase
CDP x402 facilitator (https://api.cdp.coinbase.com/platform/v2/x402).
Receipts are sha256-hashed and eip191-signed by the signer above.
