docs: reflect Layer 17 + Gaps 75/76 in README and llms.txt
Update Community vs API table and threat-library counts (150+ categories, 1,500+ regex patterns, 2,500+ semantic fingerprints). Document the new AgenticExecutionMonitor (Layer 17) agentic gate — compiled/parallel execution plan decomposition, per-node validation, and session fan-out tracking — and add compiled-plan smuggling and UI-injection to the defended-attack list.

## Agent Self-Provisioning
125+
126+
AI agents can obtain Guardian SDK API keys autonomously without a human account.
127+
The endpoint is public — no Authorization header required.
128+
129+
POST /v1/agents/provision
130+
Base URL: https://api.oraclestechnologies.com
131+
Content-Type: application/json
132+
133+
Request body:
134+
{
135+
"agent_name": "<string, 1-128 chars>", // required — display name of this agent
136+
"intended_use": "<string, 10-1000 chars>", // required — scanned by Guardian before any key is issued
137+
"tier": "free" | "pro", // default "free"
138+
"contact_email": "<email>", // optional for free; required for pro Stripe path
139+
"wallet_address": "0x...", // EVM wallet address — required for pro x402 path
140+
"agent_card_url": "https://..." // optional — A2A agent card URL for trust verification
141+
}
142+
143+
IMPORTANT: Do not populate a field named "website" — it is a honeypot.
144+
Agents that populate it receive a fake success with no real key issued.
145+
146+
### Security gates (applied to every request in order)
147+
1. Honeypot check — "website" field must be absent or null.
148+
2. IP rate limit — max 5 provision attempts per source IP per hour. Returns 429 with Retry-After: 3600.
149+
3. Guardian threat scan — "agent_name" and "intended_use" are scanned before any action is taken.
150+
BLOCK (403): adversarial or prohibited content detected — no key issued.
151+
CHALLENGE: allowed with warning logged.
152+
Guardian unavailable: 503 returned (fail closed — provisioning never skips the scan).
153+
154+
### Path A — Free tier (HTTP 201, immediate)
155+
tier="free" → key issued immediately in the response.
156+
Plan: agent_free — 1,000 requests/month, 60 RPM.
157+
158+
### Path B — Pro tier, autonomous x402 payment (HTTP 402 → HTTP 201)
159+
tier="pro" + wallet_address provided → HTTP 402 with x402-spec payment body.
160+
161+
Response body (402):
162+
{
163+
"x402Version": 1,
164+
"accepts": [{
165+
"scheme": "exact",
166+
"network": "base",
167+
"maxAmountRequired": "59990000", // $59.99 USDC, 6 decimals
168+
"payTo": "<per-payment Stripe deposit address>", // unique per request — do not reuse
169+
"asset": "0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913", // USDC on Base Mainnet
170+
"maxTimeoutSeconds": 600,
171+
...
172+
}]
173+
}
174+
175+
Payment flow:
176+
1. Send exactly 59,990,000 USDC base units to accepts[0].payTo on Base Mainnet.
177+
The deposit address is unique per payment session — do not send to a previously used address.
178+
2. Re-submit the identical POST /v1/agents/provision request with an X-PAYMENT header:
179+
X-PAYMENT: <base64-encoded JSON: {"x402Version":1,"scheme":"exact","network":"base","payload":{...}}>
180+
3. Server verifies USDC settlement on-chain via Stripe. If not yet confirmed, HTTP 402 is returned
181+
with status details — retry after 1-3 minutes for Base Mainnet confirmation.
182+
4. On confirmed settlement: HTTP 201 with Pro key in response body.
183+
payment_settled=true is recorded; no manual verification required.
184+
185+
If the payment session expires (>10 minutes), re-submit without X-PAYMENT to obtain a new deposit address.
186+
187+
Plan: agent_pro — 100,000 requests/month, 600 RPM, $59.99/month.
188+
189+
### Path C — Pro tier, Stripe supervised payment (HTTP 402 with checkout URL)
190+
tier="pro" + contact_email (no wallet_address) → HTTP 402 with Stripe Checkout URL.
191+
A human supervisor completes payment at the URL. Pro key is delivered to contact_email.
192+
No key is returned in an API response for this path.
193+
194+
