No status page, published rate limits beyond the token endpoint, or privacy policy of Agentcard's own was found, and the Trust Centre could not be read. Issuing costs $5,000 a month.\n\n**Coinbase Developer Platform (Agentic Wallet, AgentKit, CDP MCP).** Operator-set max per call and max per session that the agent can't change, set in the wallet UI. AgentKit on npm is 0.10.4 from December 2025, and its fix for a local file read and public upload path is unreleased.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Agentcard\n\n1. Mint a platform token with `POST /api/v2/oauth/token` and cache it for its one hour. The endpoint allows 30 requests per 5 minutes per IP\n2. Send the same `Idempotency-Key` on every retry of `POST /api/v2/cards`, and the same `idempotency_key` on every retry of `buy_checkout`\n3. Pass `source: \"issued\"` to the MCP `create_card` tool for a card number. Without it the tool may start Vault setup and return a link\n4. Call `get_card_details` only at the payment form and never log the result. Each read notifies the member and may return `approval_required`\n5. Treat `transaction.authorized` and `order.*` webhooks as the record of a payment, and deduplicate deliveries on the event `id`\n\n### Coinbase Developer Platform (Agentic Wallet, AgentKit, CDP MCP)\n\n1. Run `npx awal@2.12.1 status` first and sign in with `auth login` and `auth verify` if it fails\n2. Pass `--max-amount` on every `awal x402 pay`; 1000000 is $1.00\n3. Send an `X-Idempotency-Key` on server-wallet writes so a retry can't send twice\n4. Don't register AgentKit's flaunch or zora providers on 0.10.4; they read local files\n5. Give an agent a policy-bound server account or an Agentic Wallet, never a full CDP API key\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Agentcard or Coinbase Developer Platform (Agentic Wallet, AgentKit, CDP MCP)?\n\nCoinbase Developer Platform (Agentic Wallet, AgentKit, CDP MCP) scores 71.2 (BB) on agent readiness against Agentcard's 56.5 (C), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Can an agent call Agentcard and Coinbase Developer Platform (Agentic Wallet, AgentKit, CDP MCP) without installing anything?\n\nYes. Agentcard has a hosted endpoint at https://api.agentcard.sh and Coinbase Developer Platform (Agentic Wallet, AgentKit, CDP MCP) at https://mcp.base.org.\n\n### Are Agentcard and Coinbase Developer Platform (Agentic Wallet, AgentKit, CDP MCP) open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for Agentcard.
