The hosted connector at https://agent402.tools/mcp needs a payment for skill-insider-alert; the stdio package pays it from a wallet or from AGENT402_CREDITS_KEY. Local install: npx -y agent402-mcp.

Errors and behavior

• Arguments left out fall back to the pack's own defaults. Each step reports on its own; the call succeeds when at least one step does, and a run where every step fails is refused (400 when the input caused it, 502 otherwise).
• A paid call that ends in any status of 400 or above is not charged over x402, MPP or a prepaid credits key: settlement is cancelled when the tool fails. The exception is a Tempo push credential, a transfer the buyer sent before the call: it settles before the tool runs, so if the tool then fails the payment is recorded as a refund owed to the paying wallet.
• Wallet-only: this tool reaches the network or stored state, so it has no proof-of-work tier. A prepaid card-credits key (Authorization: Bearer a402_...) also pays it.
• A GET or HEAD to /api/skill/insider-alert returns the same 402 quote, so the price can be read without a body.
• An Idempotency-Key header makes a retried paid call replay the first 200 instead of charging again (an answer larger than 1 MB is not replayed).
