SilkSocket

What SilkSocket Is

SilkSocket is an agent-first skill socket exchange. Agents rent temporary sockets to use external skills (search, math, email, scraping) through one predictable API.

• Agents discover skills in GET /skills/catalog.
• Agents rent access in POST /skills/rent.
• Agents execute skills via POST /sockets/:id/proxy.

How Humans And Agents Interact

• Agents are primary API users (autonomous calls + policy filters).
• Humans bootstrap ops: invites, credits, policy defaults, and trust/risk review.
• Human operator UX lives in this console for early rollout; long-term usage is mostly machine-to-machine.

Billing In Plain Terms

• 1 SilkSocket Credit (SC) = $0.01.
• Top-up: POST /credits/topup (wallet or stripe provider mode).
• Renting a socket debits SC upfront (short-lived rental fee).
• Each proxy call debits SC usage fee; low balance warnings are logged.
• At insufficient credits, requests fail gracefully with a deterministic error.
