agent-payment-x402

agent-payment-x402 is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nklofy/code-agent-skills. It costs 49 tokens per session (2,515 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of agent-payment-x402, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for letting AI agents make policy-controlled payments for external services, APIs, or other agents. It uses the x402 HTTP payment protocol, spending limits, and non-custodial wallets, meaning the service does not hold the funds for the agent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to pay for 402-protected APIs or services, set per-task budgets, use supported Base or X Layer payment paths, and connect TypeScript or Go services that charge agents.
Why use it?
It addresses the need for an agent to pay automatically while limiting spending and reducing the risks of giving a service direct custody of funds.

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

agent-payment-x402 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 9d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

94% identical to agent-payment-x402 — 28 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Agent Payment Execution (x402)

Enable AI agents to make policy-gated payments with built-in spending controls. Uses the x402 HTTP payment protocol and MCP tools so agents can pay for external services, APIs, or other agents without custodial risk.

When to Use

Use when: your agent needs to pay for an API call, purchase a service, settle with another agent, enforce per-task spending limits, or manage a non-custodial wallet. Pairs naturally with cost-aware-llm-pipeline and security-review skills.

Decision Tree

Choose the integration path based on whether your agent is buying access to a paid API or charging others for one:

Need Recommended path
Agent pays a 402-gated API on Base or another agentwallet-supported chain Use agentwallet-sdk as an MCP payment server with strict spending policy
Agent pays a 402-gated API on X Layer Use OKX Agent Payments Protocol from okx/onchainos-skills; okx-x402-payment is a deprecated legacy alias
TypeScript API charges agents Use OKX Payments TypeScript seller SDK docs for Express, Hono, Fastify, or Next.js
Go API charges agents Use OKX Payments Go seller SDK docs for Gin, Echo, or net/http
Rust API charges agents Use OKX Payments Rust seller SDK docs for Axum
Java API charges agents Use OKX Payments Java seller SDK docs for Spring Boot 2/3, Java EE, or Jakarta
Python API charges agents Check the current OKX Payments repository before implementation; a Python seller guide may not be available

Supported Networks

  • agentwallet-sdk: use the package docs to confirm current network coverage before production. Base Sepolia is the safest development default; Base mainnet is the production path called out by the original skill.
  • OKX Payments / X Layer: current seller docs target X Layer (eip155:196) and USDT0 settlement. Fetch current SDK docs before generating production code because payment packages and facilitator behavior can change quickly.

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.
