About this automation
Create a machine-readable merchant verification registry that AI shopping agents can query in real-time. The system should provide trust scores, fraud signals, and verification status to prevent autonomous agents from transacting with fraudulent merchants.
How to implement
1
Design merchant verification data schema (trust score, verification status, fraud signals)
2
Build REST API endpoints for agent queries
3
Implement fraud detection heuristics and data sources
4
Create agent tool/action for merchant verification lookup
5
Add caching and rate limiting for agent requests
6
Implement audit logging for all verification queries
7
Test with autonomous shopping agent workflows
