Wallet operations, payment planning and Base agent monitoring

Supported scope

Network conditions change; fee estimates are illustrative and RPC access can be interrupted.

The paid endpoint returns an x402 HTTP 402 challenge to an unpaid request. An authorized buyer wallet must settle before fulfillment. A challenge or fixed-data demo does not prove an outside sale.
