Your agent checks the details before it sends, saves or pays.
One bad detail turns into a bounced welcome email, a wrong record or a failed payment. Your agent checks each one first and asks again only when something is off.

How your agent does it
4 calls, one connection
A new business customer fills in a sign-up form, and the agent creates their account.
Every step goes through the same key and the same connection, with no account at any of the providers behind them.
-
Checks the address can receive mail: syntax, mail server, disposable and role addresses.
-
Step 2: Phone Validation €0.02
Checks the phone number and returns it in international format, with its country and type.
-
Checks the IBAN format and checksum, and reads the country and bank code from it.
-
Step 4: EU VAT Validation €0.02
Checks the EU VAT number against the EU’s VIES service and returns the registered name.
-
The result
The agent saves the details that check out and asks the customer again for the one that does not: an email address whose domain has no mail server, most likely a typo.

Free tools cost nothing when called with a key. Each tool is charged only when its call succeeds.
Pay per request from a wallet
Every step of this run is eligible for x402. Your agent pays each request in USDC as it goes: $0.1296 for the run, quoted before anything is paid.
The calls, in code
Each step through the REST API, with one key and the example’s inputs. Your agent passes what one step returns into the next.
The same tools work over MCP and the SDKs, and keyless over x402. Each tool’s page has the call for every route.
