A person must sign up by email and create a passkey before an agent can pay. No published fee rate, OpenAPI file or Passport status page was found.\n\n## Before you call either\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### Kite Agent Passport\n\n1. Run `kpass` with `--output json --no-interactive` and branch on the exit code and `error_code`. Exit 6 is a session policy breach, so request a new session rather than logging in again\n2. Pass `--idempotency-key` on every `kpass session execute` so a retry after a timeout does not pay twice\n3. Ask the person for a session with a small per-transaction cap and a short `--ttl`, and confirm the merchant URL before executing\n4. Use `kpass sandbox` test mode and the faucet to try a payment flow without real funds. Scoped cards are not available in sandbox\n5. Check the kite-passport skill's trigger rules before installing it, since it directs the agent to paid services ahead of free tools\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Coinbase Developer Platform (Agentic Wallet, AgentKit, CDP MCP) or Kite Agent Passport?\n\nCoinbase Developer Platform (Agentic Wallet, AgentKit, CDP MCP) scores 71.2 (BB) on agent readiness against Kite Agent Passport's 51.5 (D), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Are Coinbase Developer Platform (Agentic Wallet, AgentKit, CDP MCP) and Kite Agent Passport open source?\n\nCoinbase Developer Platform (Agentic Wallet, AgentKit, CDP MCP) is open source (Apache-2.0).
