ERC-20 token metadata

Resolve an ERC-20 contract address to its on-chain metadata: symbol, decimals, name, and logo URL where available. Send POST /api/token-metadata with the required field contract and pay $0.001 per call over x402 or MPP (there is no free tier). It returns a JSON object with contract, network, symbol, name, decimals and 1 more.

Use this to humanize a raw contract address before showing it to a user or before computing fiat values.

Parameters

Example request

curl -i -X POST https://agent402.tools/api/token-metadata \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"contract":"0x833589fcd6edb6e08f4c7c32d4f71b54bda02913","network":"base"}'

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

Example response

{
  "contract": "0x833589fcd6edb6e08f4c7c32d4f71b54bda02913",
  "network": "base",
  "symbol": "USDC",
  "name": "USD Coin",
  "decimals": 6,
  "logo": "https://example.com/usdc.png"
}

From an MCP client

catalog.call {
  "slug": "token-metadata",
  "params": {
    "contract": "0x833589fcd6edb6e08f4c7c32d4f71b54bda02913",
    "network": "base"
  }
}

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

Errors and behavior

• contract 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 GET or HEAD to /api/token-metadata returns the same 402 quote, so the price can be read without a body.
• 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/token-metadata", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "contract": "0x833589fcd6edb6e08f4c7c32d4f71b54bda02913",
    "network": "base"
  }),
});
