A few data points from two weeks live:

- Agents send well-formed queries with specific parameters (country, gender, follower filters) -- suggests the reasoning chain before tool calls is solid - 50 unique agents hit our 402 response, only 1 converted to paying. The USDC friction kills conversion even when agent intent is clear - Node.js-based MCP clients dominate paid traffic vs Python

Your 26% session abandonment matches something we see: many hits are single 402 responses with no retry. The agent discovers the API, gets the payment requirement, but has no wallet configured to complete the transaction. It is essentially agent session abandonment at the payment step.

Would be curious whether your data shows patterns in external tool call failures vs successes -- whether agents retry on failure or abandon.
