Recommended agent patterns

Agentic workflows

Exploration Targeting
  1. /mineral-potential — confirm geological prospectivity and USGS deposit density
  2. /satellite-availability — identify Sentinel-2 scenes for alteration mapping
  3. /geochemical-anomaly — screen geochemical pathfinder signatures
  4. /jurisdiction-entry — screen regulatory, fiscal, and security risk
  5. /social-license-risk — assess community and indigenous rights exposure
  6. /exploration-brief — synthesize everything into board decision document
Investment Screening
  1. /critical-minerals-scan — assess country endowment for target commodities
  2. /commodity-supply-intel — validate commodity demand thesis and supply concentration
  3. /jurisdiction-entry — screen fiscal terms, royalties, and repatriation
  4. /deposit-intel — evaluate the specific asset or comparable transactions
Integration example

Try it with x402

// Query mineral potential for the Atacama lithium triangle
// x402 payment handled automatically by the client library

import { createX402Client } from 'x402-client';

const client = createX402Client({
  wallet: yourWallet,   // Coinbase CDP or any Base wallet
  network: 'base',
});

const result = await client.get(
  'https://prospectpulse-pi.vercel.app/api/prospect/mineral-potential',
  { region: 'Atacama lithium triangle', commodity: 'lithium', lang: 'es' }
);

// result.prospectivity_score → 94
// result.geological_setting → "Closed-basin halite/ulexite salar system..."
// result.deposit_systems → ["Lithium brine (salar)", "Pegmatite (hard rock)"]
// result.analogous_districts → ["Silver Peak NV", "Olaroz Argentina", "Greenbushes WA"]
// result.mrds_deposits → { total: 47, producers: 12, prospects: 28 }
