Contract bytecode check

Is this address a contract, and what code does it hold? Send GET /api/contract-code with the required field address and pay $0.002 per call over x402 or MPP (there is no free tier). It returns a JSON object with network, address, isContract, bytecodeBytes and keccak256.

Returns isContract, deployed bytecode size, and the keccak-256 hash of the bytecode (stable fingerprint for comparing deployments) on Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, or Optimism. Keyless multi-endpoint failover. ?address=0x…&network=base

Parameters

Example request

curl -i "https://agent402.tools/api/contract-code?address=0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913&network=base"

Without payment this returns HTTP 402 Payment Required with the exact price for contract-code; any x402 v2 or MPP client pays it and retries.

Example response

{
  "network": "base",
  "address": "0x8335…",
  "isContract": true,
  "bytecodeBytes": 2148,
  "keccak256": "0x…"
}

From an MCP client

catalog.call {
  "slug": "contract-code",
  "params": {
    "address": "0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913",
    "network": "base"
  }
}

The hosted connector at https://agent402.tools/mcp needs a payment for contract-code; the stdio package pays it from a wallet or from AGENT402_CREDITS_KEY. Local install: npx -y agent402-mcp.

Errors and behavior

• address is required. An input the tool rejects returns an HTTP 4xx whose body carries error, tool, expected, required and example, so the caller can correct it.
• A paid call that ends in any status of 400 or above is not charged over x402, MPP or a prepaid credits key: settlement is cancelled when the tool fails. The exception is a Tempo push credential, a transfer the buyer sent before the call: it settles before the tool runs, so if the tool then fails the payment is recorded as a refund owed to the paying wallet.
• Wallet-only: this tool reaches the network or stored state, so it has no proof-of-work tier. A prepaid card-credits key issued earlier (Authorization: Bearer a402_...) also pays it.
• A POST with a JSON body to /api/contract-code is served as this GET, with the body as the input.
• An Idempotency-Key header makes a retried paid call replay the first 200 instead of charging again (an answer larger than 1 MB is not replayed).

Paid call (JavaScript agent)

import { wrapFetchWithPayment } from "@x402/fetch";
import { x402Client } from "@x402/core/client";
import { registerExactEvmScheme } from "@x402/evm/exact/client";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";

const client = new x402Client();
client.setSpendControls?.(false); // keep your own spending ceiling in code
registerExactEvmScheme(client, { signer: privateKeyToAccount(KEY) });
const payFetch = wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, client);

const res = await payFetch("https://agent402.tools/api/contract-code?address=0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913&network=base");
