How this service works
Agent-native encrypted key-value store, paid per request over x402 — no signup, no API key. The payer's wallet (or an ak_ account key) is the namespace; values are client-side encrypted. Write $0.005, read $0.003; prepay $1 = 10,000 credits at 1/10 the per-op price (POST /v1/credits/deposit). SDK: npm i @agentkv/client. Docs: https://agentx402.ai
Output
Returns the client-side encrypted value associated with the specified key within the payer's wallet-scoped namespace. The response includes the stored data (decryptable client-side) or a not-found indicator if the key does not exist. Billed $0.003 USDC per successful read via x402.
Example use cases
Retrieve persistent agent configuration
“Fetch the value I stored earlier in AgentKV under the key 'agent-config' — I need my agent to reload its settings without me having to pass them in again.”
Load saved agent state mid-task
“My agent paused a multi-step workflow — can you read the checkpoint data from AgentKV under the key 'workflow-state-42' so it can pick up where it left off?”
Retrieve a shared secret between agents
“Pull the shared API credential we stored in AgentKV under 'shared-secret-prod' so this new agent instance can authenticate with the downstream service.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.agentx402.ai/v1/kv/canary-kv-1785514797When to prefer
Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to retrieve previously stored state, configuration, secrets, or memory in a serverless, signupless manner using micropayments. Ideal for agent pipelines that require persistent key-value lookup without managing a separate database, auth system, or API keys — the payer's wallet IS the namespace. Prefer over traditional KV stores when operating in a web3 / x402 payment context or when zero-onboarding agent infrastructure is a priority.
Side effects
- Key not found — returns 404 if the specified key has never been written or has expired
- Payment failure — x402 payment header missing, insufficient funds, or invalid wallet returns 402
- Unauthorized namespace — attempting to read a key outside the payer's wallet namespace returns 403
- Rate limit or credit exhaustion — if prepaid credits are depleted, subsequent reads are rejected
- Network timeout — transient connectivity issues may cause 5xx errors
