Before paying an unfamiliar merchant via x402, including one just discovered through a marketplace like Coinbase's x402 Bazaar, call this for a machine-readable assessment of their observable on-chain payment behavior, on Base or Solana. Returns a `recommendation` (PROCEED / CAUTION / INSUFFICIENT_SIGNAL) a payment policy can branch on directly, plus supporting evidence: trust tier, confidence, payer diversity, transaction history, category (data_api/compute/content_generation/financial_data/storage/other), known platform URL(s), and the merchant's own advertised price(s) compared against category peers, with no caller-supplied price required for that. This is decision support drawn from observed behavior, not a certification. PROCEED means the available evidence doesn't show cause for concern, not a guarantee of safety. INSUFFICIENT_SIGNAL means there isn't enough history to say either way, distinct from an actual concern. Add a specific quoted price to also check that exact figure against comparable sellers. $0.01 USDC per check, paid via x402.
