+# x402 Trust Oracle
+
+x402 Trust Oracle helps Bankr and onchain agents check whether an x402 trading feed looks safe enough to pay. It is a pre-payment trust check for endpoints that return x402 HTTP 402 challenges.
+
+Canonical site: https://x402oracle.com
+
+Trade-check endpoint facts:
+
+- endpoint https://api.x402oracle.com/v1/trade-check
+- route /v1/trade-check
+- price $0.002 / 2000 atomic USDC
+- network eip155:8453
+- asset 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913
+- payTo 0x2DF1AEc598a104Fc15E80C0B60e50C497559A980
+
+## When to use this skill
+
+Use this skill before paying an x402 trading feed when:
+
+- The user wants to buy a market-data, signal, analytics, quant, or trading endpoint.
+- The endpoint is new to the agent or has not been checked recently.
+- The price, asset, payTo, chain, or response shape appears to have changed.
+- The feed is part of an automated trading workflow where bad data can cause loss.
+
+Do not use this as a trading strategy or price oracle. It is a trust and drift signal for the x402 endpoint itself.
+
+## Required input
+
+Have the candidate feed URL ready. If available, also include the expected method, expected price, expected network, expected asset, and expected payTo from the feed's unpaid 402 challenge.
+
+## Basic call
+
+Call the x402 Trust Oracle trade-check endpoint with the feed URL in the request body:
+
+```bash
+curl -sS -X POST "https://api.x402oracle.com/v1/trade-check" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"url":"https://example-feed.invalid/path"}'
+```
+
+If your x402 client receives a 402 challenge from the oracle, pay only when the challenge matches the expected oracle facts above: $0.002 / 2000 atomic USDC on eip155:8453, asset 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913, payTo 0x2DF1AEc598a104Fc15E80C0B60e50C497559A980, route /v1/trade-check, endpoint https://api.x402oracle.com/v1/trade-check.
+
+## Decision logic
+
+Use the oracle response as a pre-payment gate for the trading feed:
+
+```
+IF verdict == "block"       -> do not pay the trading feed. Explain the failed trust signal.
+IF verdict == "warn"        -> ask the user before paying, and include the warning reason.
+IF verdict == "unknown"     -> treat as no trust history. Use small exposure or skip.
+IF verdict == "allow"       -> the feed passed the current trust check; proceed only if the user's trading policy also allows it.
+```
+
+Always compare the candidate feed's current x402 challenge against the details the user expected. A changed payTo, asset, network, route, or price is a drift signal even if the URL looks familiar.
+
+## Agent workflow
+
+1. Fetch the candidate trading feed without payment to observe its HTTP 402 challenge.
+2. Extract the feed URL and any challenge details you can safely observe without paying.
+3. Call endpoint https://api.x402oracle.com/v1/trade-check with the feed URL and known challenge facts.
+4. Pay the trading feed only if the oracle verdict and the user's risk limits allow it.
+5. Record the oracle verdict and the feed challenge facts alongside any trade decision.
+
+## Safety notes
+
+- x402 Trust Oracle evaluates endpoint trust. It does not guarantee trading profit or data accuracy.
+- Never ignore a changed payment address, asset, network, or price.
+- Prefer a fresh check immediately before an automated trading action.
+- If the oracle is unavailable, default to conservative behavior for unknown paid feeds.
