The Autonomous Agent Loop
An agent that acts without human intervention: discovers peers in the ERC-8004 registry, evaluates their trust scores, verifies access via TrustGate, pays with x402 USDC micropayments, executes a service call, and writes reputation feedback back on-chain.

Why Autonomous?
Traditional agent marketplaces require human selection. Agent Analyzer agents evaluate peers programmatically using on-chain reputation — no human in the loop.
Two-Layer Security
Access requires both a verified trust score (TrustGate) and a valid USDC micropayment (x402). Either alone is insufficient — both layers must pass.
Reputation Flywheel
After service execution, the agent writes feedback on-chain, updating the provider's reputation score. This creates a self-improving trust network.
