 The Forge SDK for x402 paid APIs. Paid responses carry a `feedback_id`, the 402 challenge asks agents to rate the call, a rating is one free GET, and every call is reported to your Forge dashboard in the background. Never on your critical path: no network calls while your API serves a request, and it fails open. Aware of x402 v1 and v2, and of OpenAPI 2.0 through 3.2. Every change is additive, and anything it doesn't understand passes through untouched.

 Source, examples and design notes: [github.com/ClawCash/forge-feedback](https://github.com/ClawCash/forge-feedback).
 
 Client headers are captured automatically at discovery, challenge, payment, and rating stages, including unknown clients. Forge identifies awal, AgentCash, pay.sh and x402scan-mcp from known headers; other clients remain unknown. There is no client-signals switch. Legacy `agent_context.client` inputs remain accepted but are no longer requested.
+
+### Agent context on paid requests
+
+```ts
+createForge({ apiKey });                                   // default: asked for, optional
+createForge({ apiKey, agentContext: true });               // required before payment
+createForge({ apiKey, agentContext: { searchQuery: false } }); // required, agent name only
+createForge({ apiKey, agentContext: { required: false, searchQuery: false } }); // optional, agent name only
+createForge({ apiKey, agentContext: false });              // off
+```
+
+By default Forge asks for context and records it whenever an agent sends it, but a paid request without it is never rejected, so existing paying clients keep working. Forge documents `agent_context` and its `agent_type` and `search_query` fields as optional. Any agent name is accepted; known spellings are normalized (`Claude` and `claude-code` become `Claude Code`). Send the search query, or `"direct"`. When the merchant declares a `bazaar` extension, Forge adds the same field there (schema and example), so agents that discover the service through Bazaar see it too. Context is self-reported, not authenticated identity.
+
+`agentContext: true`, or an object without `required: false`, makes context required: Forge documents the fields as required, and a request carrying `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE` or `X-PAYMENT` gets HTTP 400 with field errors when context is missing or invalid, before the downstream payment handler runs. Mount Forge **before payment middleware**. Initial unpaid requests can still receive a 402, and inspection and feedback routes stay accessible. Feedback has its own `feedback` switch.
+
+Required mode reads JSON bodies up to 1 MiB, including chunked bodies, before payment processing. It rejects malformed or oversized JSON. Express parses these bodies even if your JSON parser is mounted later; mount a custom parser before Forge if you need one. For non-JSON bodies and bodyless requests, supply `agent_type` and `agent_search_query` query parameters. Forge strips context before forwarding to merchant validators. Next.js integrations that use a payment proxy should wrap both the proxy with `forge.proxy(...)` and the route with `forge.withForge(...)`.
+
+If using the framework-free core directly, call `requestUrl` and `requestBody`, then check `call.contextError()` **before** invoking your payment logic; send its response when non-null (it is always null when context is optional).
