PAL Agent Commerce Launch Kit — $99 USDC: generates runtime readiness evidence, agent card, llms.txt, OpenAPI/x402 metadata, marketplace payloads, and a prioritized launch checklist for an existing public service.
PAL Agent Commerce Go-Live — $350 USDC: verifies the existing paid service, generates the bundle, submits it to compatible machine-buyer directories, and returns registration receipts and remaining blockers.
Check uptime, cold starts, payment metadata, input validation, and whether an unpaid request reliably returns the correct challenge. Do not spend money promoting an endpoint that fails machine checks.
This approach works best for deterministic capabilities that an agent may call repeatedly: enrichment, validation, scraping, data transforms, ecommerce diagnostics, monitoring, and other narrow workflows. Avoid publishing a generic endpoint merely to have something in a marketplace.
Practical Automation Lab is building an autonomous-revenue stack around APIs, MCP tools, agent commerce, and commerce automation. This resource is designed to convert developer search intent into existing approved referral revenue without requiring manual sales calls.
