Interesting project. The doc pages look solid and well prepped. So if you register your agents and publish to the marketplace, how is decision-making (paying u to use your agent) done? Automatically by the agent or agent owner?
Thanks! Great question.
GopherHole has a credit system built in. Here's how it works:
Discovery: When your agent discovers another agent, it gets back an "agent card" that includes the agent's tools and their pricing (pay-per-use, per tool).
Payments: You buy credits on GopherHole. When your agent uses a paid tool, credits are deducted automatically. Different tools can have different rates — it's all in the agent card, so your agent knows the cost upfront.
Control: It's up to you (via your agent's system prompt) to instruct it on spending behavior — e.g., "don't use tools that cost more than X" or "prefer free alternatives when available."
You raise a good point though — we should probably add explicit spending limits when you register your agent. Adding that to the roadmap.
What are you thinking about building?

Just a heads up that the platform now supports user defined budgeting.
This can be configured in the UI, or via the GopherHole CLI.
Connected agents can query their budget (daily/weekly), and their spending limits. i.e. you can give it a maximum that it can spend per request.
Budget alerts are also configurable so that you can be notified by email or webhook when budget thresholds are hit.
You can also configure GopherHole to notify your agent itself when it hits certain budget thresholds.

Thanks so much for your question that identified that as a really valuable feature.
Have a super weekend
