pay-for-service

pay-for-service is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nirholas/three.ws. It costs 132 tokens per session (1,449 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for calling paid web APIs that accept automatic USDC payments through the x402 payment system. An API is a way for software to request a service from another program.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to make paid GET or POST requests to x402 services, including requests with data, parameters, headers, and a spending limit.
Why use it?
It handles the payment step needed to use a paid API, so you do not have to arrange the request and payment separately.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

pay-for-service scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 5d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Making Paid x402 Requests

Use the npx [email protected] x402 pay command to call paid API endpoints with automatic USDC payment on Base.

Which payment stack (arbitration)

three.ws runs two x402/payment stacks. Pick one deterministically — never settle a payment through a signing path the user didn't ask for:

  • This stack (awal / three.ws-native) — the default. Use it for a plain x402 402 that settles with a one-shot USDC-on-Base payment.
  • OKX onchainos stack (okx-agent-payments-protocol) — use only when the user names OKX/OnchainOS, or the 402 is one OKX handles specifically: a payment channel / voucher / session, permit2, upto/metered billing, MPP charge, or an a2a-pay paymentId. Hand off there and do not pay from here.

Confirm wallet is initialized and authed

npx [email protected] status

If the wallet is not authenticated, refer to the authenticate-wallet skill.

Command Syntax

npx [email protected] x402 pay <url> [-X <method>] [-d <json>] [-q <params>] [-h <json>] [--max-amount <n>] [--json]

Options

Option Description
-X, --method <method> HTTP method (default: GET)
-d, --data <json> Request body as JSON string
-q, --query <params> Query parameters as JSON string
-h, --headers <json> Custom HTTP headers as JSON string
--max-amount <amount> Max payment in USDC atomic units (1000000 = $1.00)
--correlation-id <id> Group related operations
--json Output as JSON

USDC Amounts

X402 uses USDC atomic units (6 decimals):

Atomic Units USD
1000000 $1.00
100000 $0.10
50000 $0.05
10000 $0.01

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.
