268 open-source tests you can run on your own domain for $0.0005 each — and the one I built so AI agents can find them

A developer built a catalog of 268 open-source domain-audit endpoints priced at $0.0005 per call, discoverable via the /.well-known/x402 standard path so AI agents can find and pay for them autonomously. The endpoints cover DNS, HTTP, TLS, email authentication, content-security, and performance/accessibility checks, plus buyer-side tools that let an agent price a cart, audit a seller for defects, and simulate an x402 settlement from an ephemeral key before spending real USDC. A five-call audit of a domain costs roughly $0.134, and the full pipeline fits in about 60 lines of code.

What they cost: less than a coffeeshop dollar to test your entire prod stack.

WORKFLOW = [
    ("/api/x402-cost-quote",          "path=/api/extract"),
    ("/api/catalog-integrity-audit",  "url=https://yoursite.com"),
    ("/api/buyer-wallet-preflight",   "path=/api/extract"),
]
for path, q in WORKFLOW:
    r = fetch(f"https://host{path}?{q}")
    if r.status == 402:
        pay = build_eip3009(path, r.headers["X-PAYMENT"])
        r = fetch(path, headers={"X-PAYMENT": b64(pay)})
    print(path, r.status, r.json())

A 5-call audit of your domain costs 268 × $0.0005 = $0.134 (about 14 USDC cents). The full pipeline — endpoint picker, payment builder, error diagnoser, retry loop, JSON report — fits in 60 lines.

I built it because no single paid API service catalog existed with this breadth at sub-cent pricing for AI agents. The full inventory lives at the standard /.well-known/x402 discovery path. Every endpoint ships with an extensions.bazaar block describing its input/output schemas so any agent that fetches a 402 envelope can plan the next call without scraping sample bodies.

Some of the endpoints:

Surface What it does Price
DNS A/AAAA/MX/NS/TXT/CNAME/HTTPS/SRV/CAA/DS/DNSSEC/RPKI/AXFR/DANE-chain $0.0005
HTTP method-policy, smuggling-evidence, hop-by-hop-strip, encoding-integrity, QPACK-fingerprint, HTTP/3 readiness, CORS-runtime-attack, cache-poisoning, rate-limit-headers $0.0005
TLS cert-transparency monitoring, OCSP-stapling check, OCSP-must-staple, DANE/TLSA, MTA-STS policy validation, SVCB/HTTPSSVC parser $0.0005
DKIM/SPF/DMARC rollup, BIMI selector rotation, MTA-STS policy violation parser, DANE/TLSA $0.0005
Content-security CSP-deep, CSP-inline-fidelity, CSP-source-list extraction, CSP-violation-replay, WASM-CSP analyzer $0.0005
Performance + accessibility Lighthouse-style performance, accessibility audit, carbon footprint, forms audit $0.0005–$0.002
Buyer-side tools x402-cost-quote (price any cart in 1 call),catalog-integrity-audit (score any seller's defects),buyer-wallet-preflight (live x402 settlement test from ephemeral key) $0.0005

The buyer-side tools are the most novel: instead of paying per-call hoping nothing breaks, an agent can now price its full cart in one call, audit the seller for defects in another, and simulate an end-to-end settle from a funding-less ephemeral key in a third — all before committing real USDC.

Because time-to-insight matters more than cents-per-call:
