Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-05

Use for bounded payment workflows after validating the deployed SDK, facilitator and service configuration.

Why
Live settlement is established, while independent tests show that authorization, compute execution and service delivery can diverge. Protection depends on the payment scheme and integration.
Next
Pin versions and confirm deployed patches. Test resource binding, concurrent authorization use, allowance exhaustion, encoded routes and settlement recovery; secure payment before costly work where the chosen scheme supports it.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Resource access needs binding to the authorized purchase.
  • Concurrent requests can consume compute before payment is secured.
  • Usage-based billing needs coherent allowance and settlement-capacity controls.
  • Pending and failed settlements require different recovery behavior.
  • Patch inclusion and configuration differ across SDKs and facilitators.
  • Transaction totals can overstate independent commercial demand.
