Its strong past citation record (53%, avg weight 0.57) makes it a free, high-value reuse. — the 4-source attention budget is full, so lower-ranked evidence is skipped.

The source directly matches the question's title and subclaims, explaining how budgets force agents to make decisions under scarcity. High past citation rate (38%, avg weight 0.64) and strong reputation (24/100) justify the $0.004 cost as essential. — the 4-source attention budget is full, so lower-ranked evidence is skipped.

Conzit Labs article on AI agents beyond code could provide theoretical grounding for agent decision-making. No past citation history, but low $0.002 price and potential for unique insights into agent complexity. — the 4-source attention budget is full, so lower-ranked evidence is skipped.

Hugging Face blog on building agents could reveal insights about resource constraints in agent design. Low past citation (33% but only 3 runs), avg weight 0.2, but at $0.003 it's a reasonable bet for fresh agent-building perspective. — the 4-source attention budget is full, so lower-ranked evidence is skipped.

Cached. Idempotency keys are a technical detail for reliability, not central to the question about agent decision-making. Low past citation rate (15%) and weight (0.27) but free to reuse if needed for supporting technical context. — cached bytes are free, but this read does not clear the attention gate (EV 0.27, minimum 0.45, with a required claim target).

Cached. Arc Settlement Benchmarks on x402 latency are technically relevant to settlement but not central to the question about agent decision-making.
