Run a launch-readiness audit on my new x402-enabled generation API at https://api.example.com/v1/generate using the public manifest.
Your agent does
Verdict: hold_for_patch Spend Map: POST /v1/generate | 0.05 USDC | Resource Binding: FAILED Findings: [High] Paid-but-denied risk: Route returns 200 OK before 402 challenge on large payloads. Patch: Move payment validation middleware before the body parser to prevent unpaid resource exhaustion.

About This Skill
What it does
The x402 Attack Surface Gate is a security and reliability auditor for AI agent payment layers. It performs automated, no-payment probes of x402, MPP, and Pay.sh implementations to identify launch-blocking risks like payment bypass, replay vulnerabilities, and browser-related CORS or cache leaks.
Why use this skill
Testing paid API surfaces is notoriously difficult because you often have to spend real funds or mock complex wallet signatures. This skill solves that by using standardized, non-destructive probing techniques. It ensures your 402 payment challenges are correctly bound to resources, idempotent, and compatible with agent-centric browser environments before you go live.
Supported tools
- x402 protocol manifests
- OpenAPI / Swagger specifications
- MPP and Pay.sh agent payment standards
- Agent wallet registries and marketplace listings
The output provides a structured "Spend Map" and a prioritized "Patch Order," giving developers a clear checklist to move from 'hold_for_patch' to 'launch_ready'.
Use Cases
- Map paid API routes and price points from public manifests and docs.
- Identify payment bypass risks where work executes before a 402 challenge.
- Verify idempotency and replay protection to prevent double-charging.
- Audit CORS and cache headers for agent-client compatibility.
- Generate a prioritized patch order for payment-layer vulnerabilities.
Known Limitations
- No testing of real financial settlement or wallet signatures.
- Limited to public-facing manifests and OpenAPI surfaces.
- Cannot verify backend-only authorization logic.
