The tool's description runs to about 14.5 KB, the purchase API under it is undocumented, the monitoring page reports test passes rather than uptime, and the CLI says sign-ups are by invitation.\n\n**Walmart Agent Gateway.** Walmart has published terms for agents shopping its sites, including customer approval of purchases by default, no access to payment cards and blocking of agents that break them. The gateway is a beta by request for companies and developers, with no public endpoint, documentation, tool list or price, and Agent Profiles are announced for about November 2026.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### opencommerce\n\n1. Call `buy` with the shopper's words in `ask`, and set `confirm` true only after the shopper says yes to the cart you showed\n2. After a `timeout`, `unreachable` or `invalid_answer` error, read the conversation before sending the turn again, since the order may have gone through\n3. Show the cart's `max_charge` beside its total, because the approval holds up to that amount\n4. Use sandbox credentials for tests. `init` writes production credentials by default, and they place real orders\n5. Check a store with `GET /buy/merchants` before sending a shopper there, and suggest another store when it is `held_back` or `supported` is false\n\n### Walmart Agent Gateway\n\n1. Don't look for a public endpoint; Walmart hasn't published one, and the gateway starts as a beta for approved companies and developers\n2. Ask your human for approval before any Walmart purchase; Walmart's terms require it by default and block agents that act beyond the shopper's intent\n3. Don't request or store the customer's card details; Walmart's terms bar agents from payment-card data and payment-method changes\n4. Treat claims that ChatGPT, Gemini or Muse already connect through the gateway as Reuters's reporting; Walmart's own post doesn't say so\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, opencommerce or Walmart Agent Gateway?\n\nopencommerce scores 62 (B) on agent readiness against Walmart Agent Gateway's 8.5 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Can an agent call opencommerce and Walmart Agent Gateway without installing anything?\n\nopencommerce has a hosted endpoint at https://api.agentcard.sh.
