Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00079 | $0.02535 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00032 | $0.01014 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00507 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00253 |
Grade A, and why
venice-api-keys scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Venice API Keys
Admin endpoints for managing Bearer API keys. You need an ADMIN key (or parent session) to call these. For wallet-only auth, use venice-auth / venice-x402 instead.
| Endpoint | Purpose |
|---|---|
GET /api_keys |
List your keys (masked). |
POST /api_keys |
Create a new key. Response contains the only copy of the secret. |
PATCH /api_keys |
Update description, expiresAt, consumptionLimit. |
DELETE /api_keys?id=... |
Revoke a key. |
GET /api_keys/{id} |
Full details for one key (usage, limits, expiration). |
GET /api_keys/rate_limits |
Balances + per-model rate-limit tiers for the current key. |
GET /api_keys/rate_limits/log |
Last 50 rate-limit breaches. |
GET /api_keys/generate_web3_key |
Get a SIWE-style token to sign with a wallet. |
POST /api_keys/generate_web3_key |
Authenticate a wallet (holds sVVV) and mint a classic API key. |
Limits: key creation is capped at 20 requests/minute and 500 active keys per user.
Key types
| Type | Can call |
|---|---|
INFERENCE |
Inference endpoints plus any route that only requires authentication — e.g. /chat/*, /image/*, /audio/*, /video/*, /embeddings, /augment/*, /crypto/rpc, /characters, /api_keys/rate_limits*, /support-bot. Rejected from admin routes listed below with 401. |
ADMIN |
Everything an INFERENCE key can do, plus admin-only routes: POST/PATCH/DELETE /api_keys, GET /api_keys (list), GET /api_keys/{id}, GET /billing/balance, GET /billing/usage. |
A leaf app should almost always use INFERENCE keys — per-app, per-user, with consumption caps.

What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

venice-api-keys is a skill published in the GitHub repository 0xatd/cheaptokens-skills (2 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 2,535 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 100% identical to venice-api-keys, differing in 207 lines, and is treated as a copy.

x402-server
Add x402 payment protection to any API endpoint using @dexterai/x402/server. Trigger when the user wants to monetize an API, add a paywall, accept crypto payments on their server, set up Stripe settlement, configure dynamic pricing, create access passes, or enable sponsored access (ads for agents).

Sui platform patterns for throughput and gas — Address Balances (SIP-58) accumulators that let ONE address run concurrent txs, and gasless stablecoin transfers that remove the "you need SUI to send USDC" wall.

bridgenode
BridgeNode MCP wrapper — stdio MCP server proxying to remote streamable-HTTP endpoint with automatic x402 payment on Solana USDC. No API keys. Use when an agent needs LLM inference through MCP (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) and has no provider API key.
