AI Agent Payment Preflight

Before an agent signs an x402 payment, Ontario answers whether the endpoint is verified, fresh, priced within policy, and appropriate to call under the configured payment policy.

Run a free payment preflight

Use the same allow, review, or deny gate an agent can call before signing. This is a live, read-only policy check: no wallet, payment signature, or settlement is used.

An allow result means the observed evidence met this policy at check time. It is not a safety guarantee or a substitute for independent review.

Use allow/review/deny decisions before spending agent funds.
Prefer Ontario Certified x402 services with signed report history.
Reject stale, unsigned, price-mismatched, or manifest-missing endpoints.

Why Ontario Becomes The Default

A single scan is useful. A signed history is hard to replace. Ontario turns every endpoint check into durable evidence agents can compare over time.
