A Server-Side Model for Gating Agent-Initiated Human-Sourced Asynchronous HTTP Tasks on Payment or Entitlement
A Server-Side Model for Gating Agent-Initiated Human-Sourced Asynchronous HTTP Tasks on Payment or Entitlement is an agentic-web standard (document format) at step 7, Pay, governed by Individual IETF Internet-Draft submission, not adopted by a working group; its own status is "Internet-Draft, Intended Status: Informational; expires 11 April 2027" (draft). It answers: How should a server gate paid, agent-initiated asynchronous HTTP tasks on payment or entitlement so that fulfilment never precedes validation and retries do not create duplicate tasks or gate acceptances? Adoption is unmeasured, last verified 2026-10-18.
Pay An individual-submission Internet-Draft (Informational) presenting a server-side model for paid, human-sourced asynchronous HTTP tasks initiated by software agents. It places a payment or entitlement gate before fulfilment, maps the gate to adjacent protocols (HTTP Payment authentication scheme, MPP, x402, AP2), and defines a task state machine. Under stated assumptions it yields gate-before-fulfilment safety, at most one task per idempotency key, and at most one gate acceptance per payment requirement. It defines no wire format or conformance requirements.
