Use when THIS agent needs to pay for x402-protected content at runtime: hitting a paywall mid-task, settling it via AgentCore Payments, and applying operator-defined spend limits. Covers payment setup, policy, session budgets, and troubleshooting. Triggers on: "my agent hit a 402 while calling an API", "a tool call returned 402 Payment Required", "my agent needs to pay for x402-protected content", "let the agent pay for content, capped at $5 per session", "set a spend limit for the agent", "ProcessPayment failed", or "why did my agent refuse to pay". Not for BUILDING payment capability for end users, including wallets and framework middleware; use agents-build and references/payments.md. For non-paid APIs via Gateway use agents-connect. For inbound auth use agents-harden. For project scaffolding use agents-get-started.

The skill is specifically designed for direct financial operations, giving the agent the ability to move money or execute financial transactions — such as payment processing, cryptocurrency operations, banking integrations, or market order execution.
The skill contains specific tools and APIs for managing payments and processing financial transactions, specifically integrating with AgentCore Payments, Coinbase, and Stripe, and executing payments via x402-protected content (`x402_fetch`, `ProcessPayment`, session budgets).
The skill exposes the agent to untrusted, user-generated content from public third-party sources, creating a risk of indirect prompt injection. This includes browsing arbitrary URLs, reading social media posts or forum comments, and analyzing content from unknown websites.
The workflow reads from and interacts with selected HTTPS resources fetched via `paidFetch` (`get_paid_content`), which are arbitrary web pages rather than monitored outsider-submitted feeds.
