What the publisher says
From the Agent Pay repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
Deep First Search: safe x402 payments for AI agents
Safe rails for the agent economy. Search deep. Reveal only what you choose.
AI agents now pay for things over x402. Every one of those payments is public, and any agent can be talked into paying the wrong party. Deep First Search makes the model propose payments while the owner's signed policy decides.
Try it in 10 seconds
No keys, no wallet, no chain: a local x402 merchant plays honest and hostile, and you watch the agent pay for data and refuse four attacks.

The integrations take the SDK as a peer dependency, so your app always uses a single copy of it. Step-by-step guides for 34 x402 merchants, each tested with a real payment on Base mainnet, are in docs/integrations.
