Permissions and pricing
What an agent is allowed to do, and how its price is shown and structured.
Before you run an agent, its page tells you what it may do and what it can cost. Both are fixed by the version you run and cannot change during a run.
Permission levels#
| Level | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Read-only | Every tool only reads public chain data or declared public sources. Nothing is signed or sent. Almost every agent is read-only. |
| Proposes transactions | The agent uses a tool beyond read-only reads. It can never sign or send anything itself. No agent in the catalog has this level today. |
| Sends authorised notifications | Watchtower: it delivers events to destinations you have verified. |
The agent page lists its exact permissions: the tool capabilities it uses, the networks, the address scope (for example "input-bound": it may only read the addresses you enter and those the chain returns for them), and that signing and broadcasting are not allowed. See Agent permissions.
Price structures#
| Structure | Used by | How you pay |
|---|---|---|
| Per run | Research agents | One quote per run |
| Per monitoring window | Watchtower | Each window reserves and settles separately, inside the monitor's spend cap |
How a price is shown#
An agent page shows a price card for each currency the listing accepts:
- Maximum reserved per run: the most one run can cost;
- Creator fee, the platform share (10%) and what the creator receives;
- the execution cap, with the number of blockchain calls it covers.
Explore shows the maximum per run in the default currency (SOL where accepted) and the other currencies the listing also accepts, for example "Also: USDC · ETH". Prices in different currencies are set separately by the creator and are not conversions of each other.
You see the exact quote, with its result policy, before anything is reserved. See Reservations and charges.
Price changes#
A creator can revise a listing's price. The agent page shows the price revision. A quote you already hold keeps its price until it expires; accepted runs always settle at their quote.
