Interesting approach to security testing. One angle we've been exploring: what if the authentication layer itself was the guardrail?

With x402, every API call requires a signed payment. No API keys to steal, no credentials to leak. The economic cost of each call is itself a rate limiter and audit trail.

Not a replacement for proper guardrails, but it eliminates the credential-based attack surface entirely.
