## FAQ

### How can I use Guard to protect my agent's payments?

Guard compares payment requests with BotsRated measurements to warn or block payments based on your own rules without holding funds.

### Is there a free tier for checking services?

Yes, the first 25 checks and 3 reports per client IP per UTC day are free, and the preflight tool is free with rate limits.
