I gave an AI agent $10 and a tool store — here's the full receipt

The author connected Agentik, a new "app store for AI agents" offering hundreds of per-call tools (web search, news, stock prices, Reddit, Hacker News, keyword data, etc., mostly fractions of a cent per call), to his AI assistant Muse and gave it a $10 balance to browse, pick, and pay for tools autonomously.
Receipt highlights:
- Analyzed HN sentiment on Claude Opus 5.5 (1,806 points, 1,134 comments): cautiously optimistic, still salty about the outage — cost $0.00
- Swept 8 headlines from the last 24h on "Starlink vs India" — cost $0.00
A concrete look at the emerging pay-per-call tool marketplace pattern for autonomous agents.
