Pay an x402 micropayment endpoint. Server-side RPC verification of the on-chain tx is MANDATORY — the facilitator receipt is never trusted for money-safety fields (PLAN.md F1).

Errors

Codereason_idMeaning
-32000unauthenticatedBearer token missing or expired.
-32001unauthorizedGrant does not include x402:pay.
-32002policy_deniedEnvelope denied the payment (amount, counterparty, velocity).
-32004rate_limitedRequest rate exceeded. data.retry_after_seconds present.
-32006chain_tx_unverifiableServer-side RPC returned no result for the facilitator-claimed tx. Do not retry without investigation — the funds may not have moved.
-32602invalid_tx_hash_formatRPC-verified tx hash format does not match the requested chain (EVM vs Solana mismatch).
-32602facilitator_tx_hash_mismatchFacilitator’s claimed tx hash differs from the RPC-verified value.
-32602facilitator_amount_mismatchFacilitator claimed an amount different from the on-chain verified amount.
-32602amount_over_maxVerified on-chain amount exceeds max_amount_cents.
-32603internal_errorTransient server fault. Retry with the same idempotency key.
Money-safety note: on_chain_tx in the response is always the server-fetched RPC value, never the facilitator-supplied value. The facilitator receipt is used only for the x402 handshake; all money-safety fields are independently verified (PLAN.md F1).
