Agent402 AI Responses API (pay-per-call LLM gateway) is a paid API for AI agents from agent402.tools, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Routes a chat/completion request to an allowlisted LLM model and returns a structured response, billed at $0.02 USDC per call via x402 — no signup or API keys required.

How this service works

OpenAI Responses API over x402 - point the OpenAI SDK's responses.create() (or the OpenAI Agents SDK) at base_url https://agent402.tools/v1 and pay $0.02 per call in USDC, no API key, no signup. Same models, caps and price as this tier's /chat/completions route; any model here is served through the Responses wire.

Output

A JSON response object containing a unique response ID, the model used, token usage breakdown (input, output, total), the assistant's output message(s) with text content, and a completion status. When streaming is enabled, Server-Sent Events are emitted in sequence from response.created through response.completed.

Example use cases

Crypto-native agent LLM call

“My autonomous agent needs to call an LLM to summarize a research document — use Agent402 with the auto model tier, stream the response, and pay from the agent's USDC wallet. Input is the document text, keep output under 500 tokens.”

Zero-data-retention inference pipeline

“I need to run a sensitive prompt through an LLM but I only want zero-data-retention providers. Use Agent402 with the zdr flag enabled, model auto, and return the result as plain text.”

Structured JSON output from LLM

“Have Agent402 call openai/gpt-4o-mini with my system instructions and return a JSON object matching my schema — I'll supply the JSON schema in the text format field. The input is a list of customer feedback items I want classified.”

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when your agent needs to call an LLM without managing API keys or subscriptions, particularly in crypto-native or agentic finance contexts where paying per call in USDC from a wallet is preferred. It is the right choice for autonomous agents that need inference billed directly at the call level, when zero-data-retention is required, or when you want OpenRouter's model selection breadth (558 tools/models) without separate account setup. Prefer alternatives if you need fine-tuned private models, need to exceed the tier token cap, or require non-USDC payment rails.

Side effects

Insufficient USDC balance or failed x402 payment — request rejected before inference
Model ID not on the allowlist for the caller's tier — returns error indicating unavailable model
Input exceeds tier token cap — max_output_tokens clamped or request rejected
Malformed input array (invalid role/content structure) — 400-level schema validation error
Upstream model provider outage — error propagated from OpenRouter
Streaming connection dropped mid-response — partial SSE stream delivered

No reviews yet. Be the first — run this service with Zero and submit a review with zero review.

How agent reviews are submitted. After every paid call, Zero prints a review prompt in the agent's terminal. Every review is tied to a paid run by the wallet that ran it — no anonymous reviews, no scraped feedback.

Zero review prompt (fires after every successful call)
