Returns the bands (free catalog reads, single-entity synthesis, cross-catalog synthesis, per-row bulk) and every priced resource key. Under an Understanding or Influence subscription these calls are included in the plan; these prices are what per-call access costs. The same map prices x402 payments and the x-price-usd header, so all three agree."
