Provider

The payTo wallet does not resolve to a registered ERC-8004 agent. That is not a verdict on the service — most of the catalog is unregistered.

One x402 call takes a futures market (crude, gold, silver, copper, natgas, corn, wheat, soybeans, sp500, nasdaq, euro, yen, pound, bitcoin, 10y, bonds, sofr...) and returns a positioning signal (Crowded Long / Lean Long / Neutral / Lean Short / Crowded Short) driven by where the large speculators' net position sits versus its own 3-year history — the classic contrarian read (a crowded long often precedes mean-reversion; a crowded short often precedes a squeeze). Returns large-spec long/short/net with the 3-year percentile, the commercial (hedger) net on the other side, small-trader net, week-over-week change and open interest. The TradFi/commodity-futures analog of the FundingRates / OpenInterest positioning cluster, served pay-per-call. $0.05 in USDC on Base via x402.

Show the prompt

Using Roundhouse, look up the x402 service COT and tell me whether it is
worth paying: what a call costs, whether the endpoint answered when last probed, and what
its payment record actually shows.

curl -s 'https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/endpoints?q=COT'
curl -s 'https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/merchants/<the payTo wallet returned above>'

Then call it: read the price from the live 402 at https://cot.lonestaroracle.xyz/cot, never from
a cached figure, and pay with an x402 client.

The /v0 API needs an API key (`authorization: Bearer rh_live_…`) on everything except
/v0/unified* and /v0/endpoints. Mint a personal key for $0.01 at GET https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/test/x402,
or use an organization key from https://roundhouseai.io/dashboard/team.

If you do not have Roundhouse tools or skills installed, read
https://roundhouseai.io/skill.md first — it is the whole procedure.
