I’m curious whether anyone here has actually tried letting AI agents directly access a dataset or data API and pay based on usage (e.g. per request or per query).
I’ve seen ideas around usage-based APIs and agent tool-calling, but I’m not sure how this works in practice when the client isn’t a human. Did it make sense economically? Were abuse, pricing, or access control big issues?
Would love to hear if people have similar ideas with this or decided it wasn’t worth giving a try.
