• ✗OAuth authorization server metadatarecommended0/3

  Neither /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server nor /.well-known/openid-configuration resolved (HTTP 404 / HTTP 404)

  report issue
• ✗Machine-readable pricingrecommended0/5

  No pricing plans could be extracted from https://render.com/pricing (extraction confidence 0.00); no Offer JSON-LD on the page.

  fix → Add Offer JSON-LD per plan (name, price, priceCurrency, billing period) to https://render.com/pricing so pricing parses without inference.

  Looked for Offer JSON-LD, then had an LLM attempt structured extraction of your plans

  fix → Support x402: serve payment requirements at /.well-known/x402, or answer unauthenticated API calls with HTTP 402 plus an x402 payment-requirements payload (x402Version, accepts[]).

  Probed /.well-known/x402 and API endpoints for HTTP 402 payment-required envelopes
