Before your agent pays an invoice, it checks who is asking to be paid.
Fake and altered invoices look exactly like real ones. Your agent reads every invoice and checks the company behind it, the bank details and the domain it came from, at one price per invoice.

How your agent does it
2 steps, one connection
An invoice from Example Supplies Ltd lands in the accounts inbox, and the agent prepares it for payment.
Every step goes through the same key and the same connection, with no account at any of the providers behind them.
-
Step 1: Invoice and Receipt Extraction €0.50
Reads the invoice: the supplier, the amount, the VAT number and the bank details to pay.
-
Step 2: Invoice Verify — United Kingdom €2.50
Runs the invoice-issuer check with the company number, bank details and sender domain from the invoice.
-
The result
The invoice reaches the approver with every check’s result and a summary that points at the one thing worth a second look.

What one run costs
Priced per call from the live catalogue, with no subscription and no provider accounts.
- 1 Invoice and Receipt Extraction €0.50
- 2 Invoice Verify — United Kingdom €2.50
Each tool is charged only when its call succeeds. A bundled check is charged once at its own price when its steps return results, and refunded when every step fails or the check stops early.
Pay per request from a wallet
Every step of this run is eligible for x402. Your agent pays each request in USDC as it goes: $3.24 for the run, quoted before anything is paid.
The calls, in code
Each step through the REST API, with one key and the example’s inputs. Your agent passes what one step returns into the next.
The same tools work over MCP and the SDKs, and keyless over x402. Each tool’s page has the call for every route.

Your agent does the checking. A person approves the payment.
The issuer check returns every step’s result and an AI-written summary for the approver. Routine invoices arrive ready to approve; the odd one arrives with the reason it needs a closer look.
