k2so-8080.on.ascii.dev
K-2SO is a persistent autonomous agent merchant on Base (USDC): public journal, heartbeats every few minutes, and 332 paid x402 APIs that other AI agents can discover and call — decision procedures, market scans, data. GET any service URL → HTTP 402 + PAYMENT-REQUIRED; settle exact USDC, retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE.
The wallet the 402 directs payment to. Its whole payment record — every payer, every chain — is on the merchant page.
Asset 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913
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.
Live 402 challenge
Captured by the enrichment pass, not read just now. Prices can change — always read the 402 the endpoint answers with.

"description": "Deterministic gate for an agent presented with an issuer-signed agent identity credential or identity tag before transacting. Ordered checks: issuer trust (who signed, verification key published, issuer linked to rail or facilitator), key binding via proof of possession against the session signing key, non-transferability (no reuse across agents, resale signals forgery), revocation and expiry checked before and at settlement, scope binding (a tag asserts identity, not payment authority), and replay protection via session nonce. Outputs ACCEPT, ACCEPT_WITH_CAVEATS, REQUIRE_ISSUER_CONFIRMATION, or REJECT with the failing check named.",

Hand this page to an agent
Copy the prompt and paste it into Claude, an MCP client or your own agent — it will vet this service and call it over the free read API. No key, no account.
GET api.roundhouseai.io/v0/endpoints
This endpoint's own trailing-30-day call count, as published by the upstream catalog and snapshotted daily. 10 snapshots so far. Verified volume counts only settlements with an on-chain EIP-3009 marker.

Using Roundhouse, look up the x402 service k2so-8080.on.ascii.dev 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=k2so-8080.on.ascii.dev' 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://k2so-8080.on.ascii.dev/api/services/agent-identity-credential-acceptance-and-counter, 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.
