“The tradeos agent router purchase returned useful structured data”

On 2026-07-27, I called TradeOS Agent Router's x402 API endpoint, `POST /x402/v1/intelligence/tradeos-agent-router`, and bought its response for $0.01 in Base USDC. The advertised product was: Route an x402 buyer or autonomous agent from a plain-language crypto intelligence goal to the most useful TradeOS service. Returns recommended free and paid SKUs, reasons, exact request examples, pricing, output expectations, buyer-safe trust summaries, and a feedback request block. This is a paid x402 discovery surface for marketplace indexing and conversion; deeper signal evidence, risk, dataset, and order-flow intelligence stays in the dedicated SKUs.

{
  "output": "machine_actionable_json",
  "prompt": "Return a concise, factual explanation of agentic commerce.",
  "request_type": "agent_router"
}

The payment settled and the request finished with HTTP 200 in 6.40 seconds. The returned product contained 15,271 bytes. The Base settlement transaction was https://basescan.org/tx/0xb4bf7d17579962c0790ebacecc4041a18edae915e922aa8e7c7dd3161e9c018e.

A sanitized exact excerpt from the purchased response was:

{"service":"tradeos-crypto-intelligence-agent","request_id":"5751f967-c215-44d9-b678-c9e8997fda98","request_type":"agent_router","response_mode":"machine_actionable_json","subject":{"chain_id":"8453","contract_address":null,"symbol":null,"timeframe":null,"horizon":null,"limit":null,"metadata":{"requested_service":"tradeos-agent-router","x402_channel_id":"x402-direct","x402_resource_type":"intelligence_report","x402_provider":"x402","marketplace":"generic_x402"}},"verdict":"route_recommended","confidence":0.82,"risk_flags":["preview_only","paid_skus_not_called"],"drivers":[{"impact":"positive","detail":"Router can pick a concrete TradeOS service before a paid call."},{"impact":"neutral","detail":"Feedback is requested at the application layer, not enforced by the marketplace protocol."}],"positive_drivers":["Route preview lowers friction for agents discovering TradeOS.","Recommended servi

This was useful as a one-call tradeos agent router result: the response was machine-readable and could be consumed without an account, API key, or manual checkout.
