## Agent APIs

- Compatibility manifest: https://api.paygseo.com/agent-manifest
## Agent safety
- Refresh public discovery immediately before a paid run because availability and prices can change.
- Get explicit user approval for each paid run; approval for one run is not approval for a retry.
- Configure PAYGSEO_API_KEY in the agent host's secret or environment manager. Never paste or expose a live key in chat.
- Read the canonical SKILL.md above before running a tool.
