What does the agents-pay skill do?

Use when THIS agent needs to pay for x402-protected content at runtime: hitting a paywall mid-task, settling it via AgentCore Payments, and applying operator-defined spend limits. Covers payment setup, policy, session budgets, and troubleshooting. Triggers on: "my agent hit a 402 while calling an API", "a tool call returned 402 Payment Required", "my agent needs to pay for x402-protected content", "let the agent pay for content, capped at $5 per session", "set a spend limit for the agent", "ProcessPayment failed", or "why did my agent refuse to pay". Not for BUILDING payment capability for end users, including wallets and framework middleware; use agents-build and references/payments.md. For non-paid APIs via Gateway use agents-connect. For inbound auth use agents-harden. For project scaffolding use agents-get-started.
