From 236cbb7bec48025b824c52edff38c72df38bc44d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: chopmob-cloud Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 10:13:42 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] fix(samples): authorize the verified mandate amount in x402 credential provider The x402 credential provider read payee_address off PaymentInstrument, which has no such field, so the extraction raised AttributeError before the verified payment_amount was read. The handler then fell back to a hardcoded amount_cents = 1250, signing an EIP-3009 authorization for a fixed value regardless of the amount the user actually mandated. Read the amount from the verified, REQUIRED payment_amount and fail closed if it is absent, instead of substituting a hardcoded value. Adds regression tests. Part of #299. --- .../x402_credentials_provider_mcp/server.py | 42 ++++++++---- .../server_tests.py | 65 +++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 96 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) create mode 100644 code/samples/python/src/roles/x402_credentials_provider_mcp/server_tests.py diff --git a/code/samples/python/src/roles/x402_credentials_provider_mcp/server.py b/code/samples/python/src/roles/x402_credentials_provider_mcp/server.py index c27d68ce..23ead597 100644 --- a/code/samples/python/src/roles/x402_credentials_provider_mcp/server.py +++ b/code/samples/python/src/roles/x402_credentials_provider_mcp/server.py @@ -98,6 +98,18 @@ def _load_persisted_mandate(filename: str) -> str | None: return None +def _verified_amount_cents(chain: PaymentMandateChain) -> int: + """Return the signed amount (minor units) from the verified closed mandate. + + The amount is always taken from the REQUIRED, signed payment_amount of the + verified mandate.
