Command
npx @monarch-shield/x402 doctor --ci --strict
Use npx x402-doctor when the agent discovered the task through problem-name
queries such as x402 doctor, x402 preflight, or x402 payment safety.
Why x402 Needs A CI Gate
x402 makes payment part of the HTTP flow. That is useful for agents, but it also
means payment code can be introduced through client retries, facilitator calls,
X-PAYMENT headers, paid API wrappers, and MCP tools. A missing pre-payment
guard can leave code ready to sign or send funds without a local launch check.
Doctor fails detectable x402 payment files when payment execution is not inside
checkBeforePayment or its guarded callback.
What Monarch Does Not Claim
Monarch Doctor is not an x402 facilitator, wallet, endpoint registry, fraud
engine, or runtime policy service. Keep using runtime controls for endpoint
allowlists, per-endpoint spend limits, duplicate payment prevention, settlement
verification, and delivery guarantees.
Monarch is the build-time gate that blocks unsafe x402 payment code before it
merges.
Proof Path
- Run Doctor locally.
- Fix any unprotected x402 payment files.
- Add Doctor to CI.
- Optional: emit SARIF for GitHub code scanning.
