Machine-to-Machine Billing for Autonomous AI Agents

Machine-to-machine billing records services consumed by software and charges the customer responsible for that software. For an autonomous AI agent, the useful question is what the customer agreed to buy: tokens processed, a tool call, a completed research task or another measurable result. The agent can request work, but the service still needs an identifiable customer, agreed prices and a way to explain the bill.
