A machine-consumable Web3 integration-risk decision (x402 paid POST) can become an Agent-native product where external agents pay USDC for a structured proceed/caution/block before wiring SDKs — compounding via reusable gate assets, not human labor hours.

WEAKENING agent_x402_decision_primitive Last tested 2026-09-24

Mechanism

Frozen endpoint POST /v1/decide/integration-risk @ $0.10; coding agents call via CLI/skill; self-serve package on GitHub + npm; registry/skill distribution. Economic A_MONEY claim closed D033.

Control & timing

Control: 4/5
Time to result: n/a — A_MONEY killed
Repeatability: automatable
Edge value: 0.3

Economic result

a_money_killed revenue 0

D033 — Rock killed A_MONEY; retain as B_INFORMATION

A_MONEY claim KILLED (D033). Treat as B_INFORMATION / Lab demo only. Infra (mainnet 402, npm, GitHub, skills assets) retained; do not re-open as revenue SKU without new Gate.

Counter-evidence

external_paid_invocations = 0 after mainnet + npm
x402 median seller ~$0.04/30d; agentic cash mostly non-Web3 (DocAPI/Sierra/Firecrawl class)
Payment rail ≠ market (D033 learning)

Next test

No further A_MONEY test on this SKU. Optional Lab honesty sync only. Next A_MONEY hunt is a different inventory item under Edge OS 2.2.

Kill / Scale

Kill: A_MONEY path already killed D033. Full asset delete only if Rock asks.
Scale: Not applicable while pipeline is B_INFORMATION

Why this edge

Existed Agents wire Web3 deps with high blast-radius mistakes; cheap machine-readable gates looked scarce.

Not eliminated Packaging/L2 assets still useful as demos and learning; market thesis for paid decide failed Gate.
