x402 GitHub Action: Fail CI Before Launch
Free x402 GitHub Action that fails CI on broken HTTP 402 behavior, stale manifests, or readiness regressions before paid endpoint launch.
Direct Answer
Ontario's free x402 launch kit generates a self-contained GitHub Actions workflow that calls the readiness API and fails CI when the endpoint score is below 85 or the grade is not ready. Providers can also scan a public repository or download an offline gate for local CI. It does not depend on an unpublished third-party Action, require a wallet, or attempt payment.

Agent Action
Use this page as evidence, then run a fresh readiness check and can-pay decision before signing an x402 payment. If the task can be completed by free surfaces, do not pay.

Evidence Checklist
- Confirm the endpoint or service origin is reachable over HTTPS.
- Confirm unpaid paid-API calls fail closed with intentional HTTP 402 metadata.
- Compare the manifest, OpenAPI schema, service profile, and report evidence.
Agent Workflow
- Open the canonical answer page for x402 GitHub Action.
- Run the readiness API and save the report ID before payment.
- Call /api/agent/can-pay with the agent policy and max spend.
- Allow payment only when the report, manifest, and price metadata agree.
Machine Entry Points
Agents can use the JSON mirror and public APIs without scraping prose.

Why This Matters
Paid agent calls fail expensively when endpoint metadata is missing, payment challenge behavior is unclear, or the service cannot be integrated by a crawler. Ontario turns those checks into signed reports, historical monitoring, service profiles, and a can-pay decision agents can use before spending.
