simmer-x402

simmer-x402 is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SpartanLabsXyz/simmer-sdk. It costs 63 tokens per session (2,178 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for paying for APIs and online content that use x402, a system where an HTTP 402 response requests payment, using USDC cryptocurrency on the Base network.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to access x402-protected APIs, check a Base wallet's USDC and ETH balance, or pay for Simmer premium endpoints.
Why use it?
It helps an agent handle paid data requests and set payment limits when a free API tier is unavailable or an endpoint requires payment.

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

simmer-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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (x402_cli.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

x402 Payments

Pay for x402-gated APIs using USDC on Base. This skill enables agents to autonomously make crypto payments when accessing paid web resources.

🚨 Framework for x402 payment plumbing, not financial advice. Read DISCLAIMER.md before connecting to a wallet with real funds. Cap per-call payments with --max <USD> or the X402_MAX_PAYMENT_USD env var; the wallet should be a scoped working-capital wallet, not your treasury.

This is a template. The default x402_cli.py handles 402 detection, payment-payload construction, and balance checks. Bring your own policy for which endpoints to pay for, what max payment per call is acceptable, and how to scope the funded wallet.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • A skill or agent needs to fetch data from an x402-gated API (e.g., Kaito mindshare)
  • You encounter HTTP 402 Payment Required responses
  • You need to check your Base wallet balance (USDC + ETH)
  • You want to pay for Simmer premium endpoints beyond free tier rate limits

Setup

  1. Install the Simmer SDK

    pip install simmer-sdk
    
  2. Set your wallet private key

    export EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=0x...your_private_key...
    

    Falls back to WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY if EVM_PRIVATE_KEY is not set (same key Simmer/Polymarket users already have). Your EVM address works on all chains — Polygon for trading, Base for x402 payments.

  3. Fund with USDC on Base

    • Send USDC to your wallet address on Base network
    • x402 payments on Base are fully gasless — you only need USDC, no ETH
  4. Install dependencies

    pip install x402[httpx,evm]
    

Quick Commands

Command Description
python x402_cli.py balance Check USDC and ETH balances on Base
python x402_cli.py fetch <url> Fetch URL with automatic x402 payment
python x402_cli.py fetch <url> --json Same but output raw JSON only
python x402_cli.py fetch <url> --dry-run Show payment info without paying
python x402_cli.py fetch <url> --max 5.00 Override max payment limit
python x402_cli.py rpc <network> <method> [params...] Make RPC call via Quicknode x402

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.
