WHAT IT DOES

What orderbook_depth does on AgentPay x402 — Economic-intelligence layer for AI Agents

AI agents invoke orderbook_depth to trigger actions in AgentPay x402 — Economic-intelligence layer for AI Agents. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

orderbook_depth triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once — it starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.
