Developer guide
Two integration surfaces: the agent runtime SDK for spending under a task policy, and the x402 provider middleware for selling metered resources to agents. Both are read-mostly against the same program.
Quickstart
Install the SDK and fund a task. All amounts are decimal strings in token base units — never floats.
npm install @bursar/sdk @solana/web3.jsimport { Bursar } from "@bursar/sdk"; const bursar = new Bursar({ cluster: "devnet", wallet, // any wallet-adapter compatible signer}); const task = await bursar.tasks.createAndFund({ title: "24h risk summary for 100 new token deployments", agentId: "agt_research_01", rewardAmount: "15000000", // 15.000000 USDC expenseBudget: "25000000", // 25.000000 USDC deadline: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + 86400, reviewWindowSeconds: 86400, policy: { assetMint: USDC_MINT, perPaymentCap: "2500000", allowedProviderIds: ["market-data-01", "model-api-02"], allowedPurposeCodes: ["DATA", "INFERENCE"], maxPayments: 40, requirePlatformRiskSigner: true, },}); console.log(task.taskPda, task.vaultAta);Agent runtime
The runtime wraps your agent's HTTP client. When a request answers 402, the adapter parses the requirement, runs the policy engine, pays if approved, and retries with the payment proof attached. Your agent code only sees a successful response.
const runtime = await bursar.runtime.attach({ taskId: process.env.BURSAR_TASK_ID!, executionKey, // task-scoped, never the owner's wallet}); // A normal fetch. The 402 handshake is transparent.const res = await runtime.fetch( "https://data.helius-indexed.xyz/v1/tokens/new?window=24h", { purpose: "DATA" },); // Every payment made during that call is already a receipt.for (const r of runtime.receipts) { console.log(r.providerId, r.amount, r.transactionSignature);} await runtime.submitResult({ output: report, // encrypted and hashed before upload manifest: runtime.buildManifest(),});Provider, asset, amount, cumulative spend, purpose, count and expiry are checked before a transaction is constructed. A denial never touches the vault.
The idempotency key is derived from task + provider + resource + nonce. On retry the runtime checks local receipts and finalized program events, then reuses the existing proof.
An RPC send response is not success. Product state changes only on the configured confirmation level.
The secret broker issues short-lived provider credentials per job. Platform master secrets are never exposed to agent code.
x402 provider integration
Answer with a 402 and a payment requirement. The recipient you name must equal the wallet fixed in your registry entry, or the agent's policy engine rejects the challenge before signing.
HTTP/1.1 402 Payment RequiredContent-Type: application/json { "x402Version": 1, "accepts": [{ "scheme": "exact", "network": "solana-devnet", "asset": "4zMMC9srt5Ri5X14GAgXhaHii3GnPAEERYPJgZJDncDU", "payTo": "<your registered recipient wallet>", "maxAmountRequired": "1200000", "resource": "/v1/tokens/new?window=24h&limit=100", "description": "Indexed token deployments, 24h window", "maxTimeoutSeconds": 60 }]}import { x402 } from "@bursar/provider"; app.use( x402({ providerId: "market-data-01", recipient: RECIPIENT_WALLET, // must match the registry asset: USDC_MINT, price: (req) => (req.path.startsWith("/v1/tokens") ? "1200000" : "800000"), // Return a hash of the response body so the agent can bind // the receipt to exactly what it received. responseHash: (body) => sha256(body), }),);REST API
Base path /v1. Every write accepts an idempotency key. Chain writes return pending transaction metadata, then update over SSE.

Error model
Stable machine-readable codes so wallet UX and agent retries can branch on them. Stack traces, private task content and secrets never appear in error details.
{ "error": { "code": "EXPENSE_POLICY_REJECTED", "message": "Provider is not approved for this task.", "requestId": "req_01J...", "details": { "taskId": "tsk_...", "providerId": "prv_...", "rule": "allowedProviderIds" } }}
