Paid buyer-side trust oracle:
AI agents call verified_route to retrieve information from AgentPay x402 — Economic-intelligence layer for AI Agents without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

The 'buyer-side trust oracle' framing suggests it returns trust metrics or verification status for routes.
