Field notes

The visible integration is a Python call that names a capability, supplies input, and sets a maximum cost; the sample response returns the selected provider, price, result, and receipt ID. A policy panel shows a $25 daily budget, approval required above $5, and blocked customer-PII sharing. The page reports a five-provider demonstration with $0.05 settled in USDC on Base, while describing the developer preview as free for design partners.
