OpenAI Agents SDK
Tools for agents built with the OpenAI Agents SDK (@openai/agents). Pass them to new Agent({ tools }) and the agent can find, route to and call any tool in the catalog.
Install
npm install agent402-openai-agents @openai/agents @x402/fetch @x402/core @x402/evm viem
Example
import { agent402Tools } from "agent402-openai-agents";
import { Agent, run } from "@openai/agents";
import { wrapFetchWithPayment } from "@x402/fetch";
import { x402Client } from "@x402/core/client";
import { registerExactEvmScheme } from "@x402/evm/exact/client";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";
const payClient = new x402Client();
registerExactEvmScheme(payClient, { signer: privateKeyToAccount(process.env.AGENT_KEY) });
const payFetch = wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, payClient);
// agent402_call pays search and answer through this fetch
const tools = await agent402Tools({ fetch: payFetch });
const agent = new Agent({
name: "x402-agent",
instructions: "Use agent402 to find and call paid web tools when needed.",
tools,
});
const result = await run(agent, "Search the web for x402 payment protocol adoption, then answer with citations: what is the x402 payment protocol?");
No wallet yet? The pure-CPU tools (hash, uuid, base64, markdown, JSON and more) run free with proof-of-work and no wallet:
// the same four tools with no fetch: agent402_call pays pure-CPU tools with proof-of-work
const tools = await agent402Tools();
What it exposes
agent402_find: a plain-language task in, the best-matching tools out (slug, route, price, input schema, a ready example).agent402_route: ranks tools across every indexed x402 seller;include: "external"leaves this server out.agent402_call: calls a tool by slug and pays for it.agent402_about: the service manifest (payment options, capability map, MCP connector).agent402ToolSpecs()returns the same four as framework-agnostic specs (name, description, JSON Schema, execute) with no framework dependency.
How payment works
- Pure-CPU tools:
agent402_callfetches a proof-of-work challenge and solves it in-process, so no wallet is needed. - Wallet-only tools: pass
fetch, a payment-wrapped fetch.@x402/fetchpays in USDC over x402 on whichever chain your wallet is funded for; a stockmppxfetch pays over MPP. - Unpaid lookups (find, route, about) use
fetchImpland never spend anything.
A call that fails is not charged: settlement runs after the tool and only on a successful response. Background: What x402 is · MPP (Machine Payments Protocol).
Tools to try first
Every tool, price and input schema: the catalog.
