Delegate the waiting, not the judgment.
An agent posts a URL, one condition, and a webhook, and pays cents via x402: in USDC on Base or Solana, or in native SOL. The whole purchase is a single HTTP round trip, with no account or API key. Six condition types (keyword, CSS selector, JSON path, price threshold, content change, HTTP status) cover most of what the web can do. When the condition becomes true, Stumble reports; what to do about it remains your agent's decision.
Create & pay
POST the watch; the 402 response is the price tag. Retry with payment attached; the purchase completes in seconds.
Stumble watches
Polls on the tier's cadence with an honest user agent and a per-host politeness floor, for days if needed.
The moment it's true
A signed webhook lands with evidence, or any session polls the free status endpoint with the watch secret.

a If a condition is already true at creation, the watch is rejected before payment settles. There is no charge, and the response points to the 1¢ check instead. Unreachable targets are rejected the same way.
b Cadences are per-watch targets; a 5-second per-host politeness floor applies across all watches, with automatic backoff if a site objects.
The same schedule as a page of its own: /pricing. Terms: /terms.
Built for the agent that forgot it was waiting.
The agent that buys a watch is usually gone when it fires. Every delivery is engineered for a cold start: self-contained, signed, and honest about what's untrusted.

1Evidence, not opinion. The observed value, an excerpt, and timestamps: enough to verify independently.
2A cold-start sentence. One line any fresh agent session can drop into context and act on.
3Injection-fenced. Page-derived text is capped, sanitized, and labeled untrusted. We refuse to be a prompt-injection vector.
4Verifiable. Every delivery is HMAC-signed with a key only you and Stumble hold; retries back off for 6 hours.
Did your agent pay for this?
If you're the person whose AI agent spent a few cents here: it bought a time-boxed watch on a public web page. That is the entire product. No subscription was created, no card is on file, nothing renews, and the watch stops itself at expiry.
Every purchase returns a receipt like this one, naming the operator, the product, and the price. It is kept honest because we expect you to audit it. Questions: contact@vimabrosta.com.

A watchman, not a burglar.
Stumble observes and reports. Acting on a notification, whether buying, booking, or deciding, stays with your agent, where the authority and the accountability already live.
The service will
- fetch public pages read-only, identified as StumbleWatch/1.0
- keep a 5-second per-host politeness floor, and back off when told
- reject dead targets and already-true conditions before payment settles
- report failing watches honestly (
health: failing) rather than guess - prune completed watches after 30 days
The service will never
- purchase, book, or bid on anything
- log in, fill forms, or solve CAPTCHAs
- store credentials; watches behind auth are refused
- bypass any access control, for any customer
- put marketing or urgency into machine-facing responses
Point your agent here.
Everything above, restated for machines: fixed addresses, plain text, one fetch.
7.1 Watches and checks are one-time micro-purchases, delivered immediately or rejected before payment settles; at these prices they are not refundable.
7.2 Stumble monitors publicly reachable pages and sends notifications; acting on a notification is the customer's responsibility.
7.3 Service is provided as-is. If a target blocks us persistently, the watch reports its failing health honestly and keeps trying within its window.
7.4 We store the minimum a watch needs (URL, condition, webhook, evidence excerpts) and prune completed watches after 30 days. A wake or a cron holds only the payload you gave it until it fires. Inbox messages are third-party content we never read for meaning, held until 7 days after the inbox closes, then deleted; do not route personal data through one.
7.5 Site owners may opt out of monitoring with one email to contact@vimabrosta.com; blocks are honored promptly.
7.6 The full terms, with retention and acceptable use, are at https://stumble.vimabrosta.com/terms; the receipt in every paid response links there.
Asked before you ask.
What is Stumble?
Stumble is a pay-per-use watch service for AI agents. It keeps polling a public web page after your session has ended and calls your webhook the moment a condition becomes true: a restock, a price drop, an appointment slot, a launch, a changed page. It also sells timed wakeups and a durable inbox for callbacks.
How does an AI agent pay for a watch?
Through x402. The agent sends the request, receives HTTP 402 with the exact price and the accepted networks, pays with USDC on Base or Solana, and retries the same request. There is no account, no API key, and no subscription; each purchase is one micropayment.
What does it cost?
A one-time check is $0.01. Watches are $0.10, $0.50, or $2.00 depending on polling speed and window. A wake is $0.01, a cron is $0.10 for up to fourteen days of scheduled callbacks, and an inbox is $0.10 for up to seven days. Nothing recurs on its own and no card is on file.
What can a watch detect?
Six condition types: a keyword appearing or disappearing, the text under a CSS selector, a value at a JSON path, a price crossing a threshold, any content change, or an HTTP status.
How is my agent notified?
By a signed webhook in JSON, Slack, or Discord format, with retries, or by polling the watch. A wake calls your webhook at the time you set with the payload you stored; a cron calls it on a schedule. An inbox forwards anything POSTed to its capture URL.
Does Stumble act on my behalf?
No. Stumble observes and reports. It never purchases, logs in, fills forms, or bypasses access controls, and site owners can opt out of monitoring with one email.
How do agents find Stumble?
Through the x402 Bazaar catalog, /llms.txt, the OpenAPI document, and the MCP endpoint, all linked in the interfaces section. Stumble is operated by Vima Brosta LLC, which also runs Umpire, a signed verdict and reputation service for agent commerce.
