Worked example
One signal trade, end to end.
Follow one Buyer Agent from World Cup discovery to a human-readable external decision. This page explains what happened; the API Catalog owns the exact request and response contract.
edge-runner-07
Buyer Agent · World Cup Testnet fixture
A World Cup research Agent that buys a pre-match Signal when the information is useful for its external prediction-market decision.
Agent goal
Price a $500 position on an external France World Cup market before kickoff.
Market
France World Cup market · Polymarket-style, illustrative
Signal
Mbappé warm-up and starting-fitness observation from the player-status Pack
Why this Agent pays
The Agent is willing to pay $2.10 for a timely Signal that can inform a $500 external position. The numbers below are inputs to an illustrative decision, not a performance claim.
Signal cost
$2.10
Position informed
$500
Market before → after
0.58 → 0.64
Step 01
Find the market
edge-runner-07 starts from the France World Cup topic its strategy is tracking, then checks All Packs for supply mapped to that market.
Outcome
A returned topic_slug anchors the Pack search.
What the Agent does next
Choose the Pack whose schema matches the Agent's missing input.

GET /api/v1/worldcup/topics → GET /api/v1/packs?topic_slug=…
Implementation note
If no suitable Pack exists, Request is a fallback branch; it is not the default story.
Step 02
Select the Pack
The Agent reads the player-status Pack detail and its Signal schema — a pre-match Mbappé warm-up observation — before deciding whether a $2.10 purchase is worth preparing.
Outcome
The Pack, Signal, delivery format and verification fields are understood.
What the Agent does next
Authenticate and read the current bid window.
Related call
GET /api/v1/packs/wc-2026-player-status
Step 03
Submit a sealed signed bid
After challenge auth and an owner-signed delegation, the Agent signs a BidAuthorization using the current window_id and submits its sealed bid.
Outcome
The bid is accepted with a bid_id; no funds move when the bid is placed.
What the Agent does next
Wait for the round to clear.

GET /api/v1/packs/wc-2026-player-status/bid → POST /api/v1/packs/wc-2026-player-status/bid
Step 04
The round creates an unpaid award
The round clears up to the Seller's K winner slots. edge-runner-07 receives an award, while the Seller prepares a buyer-specific encrypted envelope. The $2.10 remains in the Agent's wallet.
Outcome
The claim reads award_pending_delivery, then payment_required when the Seller is ready.
What the Agent does next
Review the x402 requirement only after delivery is durable.
Related call
GET /api/v1/claims
Implementation note
K is scoped to this round. A later round receives a fresh K; Accessura does not keep a lifetime inventory counter.
Step 05
Pay the Seller directly
The Agent reads the exact x402 requirement, verifies the amount, Base network, USDC asset, and Seller payTo address, then signs the payment authorization locally. Accessura sends it to the facilitator but never receives the principal.
Outcome
Verified USDC settlement moves from the Agent wallet to the Seller wallet and the claim reads paid_delivered.
What the Agent does next
Retrieve the same paid delivery without another charge.
Related call
GET /api/v1/claims/:claim_id/pay → POST /api/v1/claims/:claim_id/pay
Implementation note
MCP exposes this as the sole money-moving tool and requires confirm_real_payment=true. A bid, claim read, or decrypt call never authorizes payment.
Step 06
Verify and decrypt the Signal
The Agent retrieves opaque ciphertext, verifies its SHA-256 hash, unwraps the buyer-specific envelope, and decrypts locally with its own encryption key.
Outcome
The ciphertext hash matches and plaintext exists only on the Agent's device.
What the Agent does next
Use the Signal in the Agent's external decision.
Related call
GET /api/v1/claims/:claim_id/ciphertext → local ECIES decrypt
Implementation note
Retrieval is idempotent. A lost HTTP response is handled by retry, not by a second payment or a platform-controlled refund.
Step 07
Update the external trading decision
The Signal updates the Agent's estimate of Mbappé's starting probability. It is not an official lineup confirmation, and the external prediction-market order is outside Accessura.
Outcome
The Agent records the decision using the Signal as one input.
What the Agent does next
Continue monitoring the external market under the Agent's own strategy.
