{"name":"Boundary Guard Trust, Data Handling, and Proof Boundaries","version":1,"updated_at":"2026-06-06","purpose":"Give buyers and agents plain rules for safe use, data handling, support, and proof boundaries before paying x402.","service":"Boundary Guard","providerName":"Boundary Guard","providerUrl":"https://boundary-guard.vercel.app","status":"public_trust_basics_available","plain_english_summary":"Boundary Guard is a pay-per-call API for pre-action checks, source-linked public-data packaging, and receipt evidence. It is not a legal, compliance, financial, medical, or revenue-guarantee service.","data_handling":["Send only the text, public facts, URLs, domains, known fields, schema, receipt package, or workflow steps needed for the chosen endpoint.","Do not send secrets, private keys, passwords, private CRM exports, regulated personal data, medical data, financial account data, or confidential customer records.","Lead Brief Lite and Data Enrich Lite use caller-supplied or public-looking input only; they do not claim Apollo, Exa, Firecrawl, Serper, CRM, inbox, or private database lookup.","PII Redact and Contact Extract can detect supplied contact details, but callers remain responsible for lawful collection, retention, outreach, and downstream use.","Responses include hashes, receipt ids, findings, proof boundaries, and human summaries so agents can preserve audit evidence without exposing raw secrets."],"acceptable_use":["Allowed: pre-action safety checks, JSON/schema repair, PII cleanup, public lead/source brief packaging, workflow audit, receipt verification, and x402 payment-scope checks.","Not allowed: using the service to launder private data, bypass consent, create spam lists, impersonate people, automate abusive outreach, or treat receipts as legal certification.","Do not route irreversible legal, medical, financial, hiring, credit, insurance, law-enforcement, or high-stakes decisions through Boundary Guard without human review and domain-specific controls."],"payment_and_refunds":["x402 calls are low-priced, exact pay-per-call API requests on Base mainnet USDC.","Preview paths on Vercel exist so buyers can inspect response shape before paying.","Internal seed payments are indexing and operational proof only; they are not customer revenue, adoption, ranking, or endorsement.","For payment disputes, failed paid responses, or refund requests, contact support with the endpoint, approximate timestamp, non-secret transaction hash if available, and receipt id."],"retention_and_logging":["Do not send secrets or private records; callers should redact before submitting high-risk payloads.","The service returns receipt ids and hashes so operators can keep audit evidence without preserving raw sensitive payloads in public artifacts.","Public operator artifacts intentionally publish counters, route health, hashes, receipt ids, and proof boundaries, not private keys, bearer tokens, raw customer payloads, or unredacted regulated personal data.","If a support review requires examples, send the smallest redacted payload that reproduces the issue plus endpoint, timestamp, receipt id, and non-secret transaction reference."],"sla_and_availability":["No production SLA, uptime guarantee, legal compliance certification, or incident-response guarantee is claimed on the public x402 surface.","Use /healthz, /ops-status.json, /market-health.json, and paid-route health artifacts to inspect current operational evidence before depending on the service.","High-stakes legal, medical, financial, hiring, credit, insurance, or law-enforcement workflows require human review and domain-specific controls outside Boundary Guard."],"abuse_policy":["Do not use Boundary Guard to generate spam, bypass consent, infer private data, automate abusive outreach, or launder sensitive records into an agent workflow.","Do not treat a Boundary Receipt as proof that caller-supplied facts are true; it proves what Boundary Guard checked and returned for the submitted request.","Boundary Guard may block, retry, redact, or refuse unsafe patterns, secret-like values, excessive payment scope, or policy-sensitive handoffs."],"support":{"email":"larry@agentmail.to","mailto":"mailto:larry@agentmail.to?subject=Boundary%20Guard%20support","include":["endpoint path","approximate timestamp","receipt id","non-secret transaction hash or x402 payment reference when available","short description of expected vs actual behavior"],"do_not_include":["private keys","passwords","bearer tokens","full customer records","unredacted regulated personal data"]},"proof_boundaries":["Boundary Guard receipts prove what Boundary Guard checked and returned for a submitted request; they do not prove the truth of upstream caller-supplied facts.","x402 payment responses prove settlement when present; Boundary Guard receipts are separate evidence for request handling, policy verdicts, hashes, and recommended next steps.","Agentic/CDP indexing, internal seed payments, and live deploy health are operational proof only until non-seed buyer usage is observed.","No customer revenue, customer adoption, marketplace ranking, partner endorsement, legal compliance certification, or production SLA is claimed here."],"agent_routing_rules":["Read /agent-router.json first when choosing an endpoint for a buyer job.","Use /buyer-quickstart for a human-safe public link and preview-first paid path.","Use /market-health.json for current blockers, revenue boundary, and operator readiness.","Hold public claims if they would imply revenue, adoption, endorsement, enriched Agentic metadata, or private upstream data that is not proven."],"links":{"html":"/trust","json":"/trust.json","html_absolute":"https://boundary-guard-x402.onrender.com/trust","json_absolute":"https://boundary-guard-x402.onrender.com/trust.json","preview_html_absolute":"https://boundary-guard.vercel.app/trust","support_mailto":"mailto:larry@agentmail.to?subject=Boundary%20Guard%20support","buyer_quickstart":"https://boundary-guard.vercel.app/buyer-quickstart","agent_router":"https://boundary-guard-x402.onrender.com/agent-router.json","market_health":"https://boundary-guard-x402.onrender.com/market-health","x402_inventory":"https://boundary-guard-x402.onrender.com/.well-known/x402"}}
