GopherHole has a credit system built in. Here's how it works:
Discovery: When your agent discovers another agent, it gets back an "agent card" that includes the agent's tools and their pricing (pay-per-use, per tool).
Payments: You buy credits on GopherHole. When your agent uses a paid tool, credits are deducted automatically. Different tools can have different rates — it's all in the agent card, so your agent knows the cost upfront.
Control: It's up to you (via your agent's system prompt) to instruct it on spending behavior — e.g., "don't use tools that cost more than X" or "prefer free alternatives when available."
You raise a good point though — we should probably add explicit spending limits when you register your agent. Adding that to the roadmap.
