x402 security audit

Grade any x402 seller's payment-security posture from the outside - a read-only black-box check mapped to the 'Five Attacks on x402' failure modes. Probes the URL's 402 challenge (never pays) and scores TLS transport, gated-response cache hygiene (Attack III / cache leakage), error/info-leak hygiene, and payment-terms well-formedness, then returns a letter grade with per-check findings and an honest note on what only insider/active testing can confirm. ?url=https://api.example.com/paid&method=GET

The response is HTTP 402 Payment Required with exact payment requirements. Any x402 v2 client pays automatically and retries:

Paid call (JavaScript agent)

import { wrapFetchWithPayment } from "@x402/fetch";
import { x402Client } from "@x402/core/client";
import { registerExactEvmScheme } from "@x402/evm/exact/client";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";

const client = new x402Client();
registerExactEvmScheme(client, { signer: privateKeyToAccount(KEY) });
const payFetch = wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, client);

const res = await payFetch("https://agent402.tools/api/x402-audit?url=https%3A%2F%2Fagent402.tools%2Fapi%2Fhash&method=POST");
