SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the one-time setup required to give an AI agent pay-per-call access to premium x402 APIs by installing the AgentCash core skill, creating a wallet, and optionally redeeming invite credits so the agent can start making paid requests.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated CLI onboarding: Install the core AgentCash skill and initialize a wallet using the agentcash CLI.
  • Invite code redemption: Accept an optional invite code during onboarding to grant free credits as part of setup.
  • Wallet management helpers: Guide users to check balances, open funding flows, and retrieve deposit addresses for funding and refunds.
  • Use Case: A developer or operator preparing an AI agent to call paid APIs can run the onboarding flow, redeem invites for test credits, verify the balance, and begin discovering or fetching endpoints.

Quick Start

Run the AgentCash onboard command with or without an invite code to install the core skill and initialize your wallet so you can check balance and fund the agent.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up micropayments for an AI agent to access paid APIs?

To set up micropayments for an AI agent, you install the AgentCash core skill and create a wallet using the CLI, which enables pay-per-call access to x402-protected APIs. This onboarding process initializes your agent's funding flow.

What is an x402-protected API and when do I need a wallet for it?

An x402-protected API requires pay-per-call micropayments to process requests. You need an AgentCash wallet to fund your AI agent so it can automatically handle these payment challenges when accessing premium endpoints.

How do I redeem an invite code for free credits during agent onboarding?

You can redeem an invite code for free credits by passing it during the AgentCash CLI onboarding command. This grants test credits to your wallet, allowing the agent to start making paid API requests immediately.

Can I check my agent's wallet balance and get a deposit address using the CLI?

Yes, you can check your agent's wallet balance and retrieve a deposit address using the agentcash CLI. These wallet management helpers guide you through verifying funds and opening funding flows for paid requests.

Do I need permission to run CLI install commands to set up an AgentCash wallet?

Yes, you need permission to run CLI install commands because setting up an AgentCash wallet requires executing npx agentcash commands to install the core skill and create wallet addresses on your system.

What are the limitations of using the AgentCash CLI for agent onboarding?

A limitation of using the AgentCash CLI is that funding steps may require a browser or external link to complete. The onboarding process is strictly for initial setup, wallet creation, and balance management rather than endpoint discovery.
