Example deliverable

This is the documented response shape, not a promise that live values will match the example. The paid request returns current or declared-source results using the same contract.

{
  "success": true,
  "recall_count": 24,
  "urgent_park_it_count": 0,
  "recalls": [
    {
      "campaign_number": "19V182000",

Purchase decision

Buy when: the active task needs this product's structured result, its declared source and freshness are sufficient, and 0.004 USDC is within the buyer's authorized per-request limit.

Skip when: a cached result is sufficient, the source or fields do not satisfy the task, or the buyer has not authorized payment. Do not bypass wallet, budget, or user-approval policy.

Guaranteed response metadata

Every successful product response identifies how the result was produced. Product-specific output fields are documented in the paid OpenAPI contract and can be inspected through the preview request where available.

  "marketplace_metadata": {
    "data_mode": "live_source",

}

Agent payment flow

Fast path: install the public MCP package, configure a dedicated low-balance Base buyer wallet and a maximum per-request spend, then call this tool with auto_pay: true. The client handles the challenge, local signature, settlement, and retry in one tool call.

X402_EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=<dedicated buyer wallet key>
X402_MAX_PAYMENT_USDC=0.25

tool input: { "auto_pay": true }

Manual path: request the product, read the base64 PAYMENT-REQUIRED challenge, sign with any compatible x402 v2 client, and retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE. A successful response includes PAYMENT-RESPONSE.
