Autonomous agents run long-lived loops and make their own decisions — including financial ones. To operate safely they need budgets, approvals and an auditable payment trail. These projects provide that infrastructure on top of x402: policy engines, spend trackers and agent loops with money built in.
Here are the autonomous-agent payment tools in the directory.
