Call this immediately before sending a payment, every time — not once per counterparty. It weighs THIS payment (the amount, the chain, the endpoint) against what the address has actually done: the price the seller themselves published for that endpoint, the address that endpoint names as its payee, the largest payment this address has ever received, and whether it has ever been paid on the chain you are about to use. Answers one of three verdicts. `nothing-against-it` means every check ran and none objected — it is NOT a statement that the payment is safe, because nothing here can see what the payment is for or what you agreed. `look-first` means at least one thing we could READ does not match, and the findings say which; a check that could not run never produces it, it produces `cannot-say`. `cannot-say` means we did not read enough to have an opinion, and must never be read as the first. Free. Give as much of amountUsd, chain and resource as you have: each one left out is a check that did not run, and the answer says so rather than passing.
