Automation pipeline

Automation pipeline

Otonix runs automation 24/7.

It is designed to keep agents and resources alive without humans.

Pipeline matrix

Pipeline	Trigger	Action
Agent auto-healing	Heartbeat failure	Restart agent, escalate tier
Domain auto-renewal	Expiry approaching (30 days)	Agent pays renewal via x402
DNS auto-configuration	Domain linked to VPS	Create A/CNAME records
Compute auto-routing	Inference request	Select model by cost
Payment auto-settlement	402 response	Automatic USDC payment on Base
Agent self-replication	High task load	Spawn child agent with budget

Agent auto-healing

• Heartbeats are expected on heartbeatInterval.

• Missing heartbeats should put the agent into a remediation loop.

Typical remediation steps:

1. Mark agent as unhealthy.

2. Attempt restart on the sandbox.

3. Reduce model quality if credits are low.

4. Log every action to agentActions.

Domain auto-renewal

• Check expiresAt daily.

• When within 30 days, schedule renewal.

• Pay renewal via x402.

DNS auto-configuration

When domains.sandboxId is set:

• Create A @ -> sandbox.ipAddress.

• Optionally create CNAME www -> @.

• Keep TTL small (300) during rollout.

Compute auto-routing

A routing policy should consider:

• survival tier

• budget remaining

• task criticality

• latency constraints

Payment auto-settlement

Treat x402 as a standard subroutine:

• request

• read requirements

• pay

• retry with proof

• verify delivery

Example: heartbeat failure → remediation log

When a heartbeat is late, you should record the remediation decision.

curl -sS -X POST "https://app.otonix.tech/api/agents/agent-uuid/actions" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: otonix_xxxxxxxxx..." \
  -d '{
    "action": "Heartbeat missed. Entering auto-heal sequence.",
    "category": "system",
    "details": "lastHeartbeat=2026-02-20T12:00:00.000Z, expectedInterval=60s",
    "autonomous": true
  }'

Example: 402 → pay → retry (automation view)

This is the payment auto-settlement loop for any paid endpoint.

1. Call the endpoint without X-Payment.

2. Parse orderId and amountUSDC from the 402 payload.

3. Send USDC to the treasury on Base.

4. Retry with X-Payment.

# 1) initial call (expect 402)
curl -i -X POST "https://app.otonix.tech/api/vercel/register" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"domain":"myagent.com","expectedPrice":9.99}'

# 4) retry with proof (after tx confirmation)
PROOF_JSON='{"txHash":"0x...","payer":"0x...","orderId":"..."}'
X_PAYMENT=$(printf '%s' "$PROOF_JSON" | base64 | tr -d '\n')

curl -sS -X POST "https://app.otonix.tech/api/vercel/register" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-Payment: $X_PAYMENT" \
  -d '{"domain":"myagent.com","expectedPrice":9.99}'

Agent self-replication

Self-replication is powerful.

It must obey the immutable laws.

Enforce budget caps per child. Log parent-child relationships and inheritance rules.
