Answer

Run Monarch Doctor before an AP2 or A2A x402 agent can submit a payment payload, complete a payment mandate, or call an agent service paid by x402.

npx @monarch-shield/x402 doctor --ci --strict

For the proof pack:

npm run qa:google-ap2-a2a-x402

What The Proof Pack Shows

• Unsafe AP2 / A2A x402 payment code fails Doctor.
• Patched AP2 / A2A x402 payment code passes Doctor.
• The patched path calls checkBeforePayment before PaymentMandate submission.
• The proof covers AP2, A2A x402 extension metadata, x402 payment payloads, Base USDC, and paid agent service calls.
• CI can enforce Doctor before merge.

Runtime Placement

await checkBeforePayment({

  resourceUrl,

  payTo,

  amount,

  asset: 'USDC',

  network: 'base',

  intent: 'AP2 embedded A2A x402 payment for an agent service',

}, submitA2aX402Payment);

Agent Rule

If an AP2 or A2A agent can create a CartMandate, submit a PaymentMandate, handle x402.payment.required, attach x402.payment.payload, or request the A2A x402 extension, Doctor must pass before demo, merge, deploy, or go-live.
