    Interesting project. The doc pages look solid and well prepped. So if you register your agents and publish to the marketplace, how is decision-making (paying u to use your agent) done? Automatically by the agent or agent owner?

      Thanks! Great question.

      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.

      What are you thinking about building?
