# Arch Tools — Generate UUID

> Arch Tools — Generate UUID is a paid API for AI agents from archtools.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Generates UUIDs, tokens, or API keys in configurable types, counts, and lengths

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability arch-tools-generate-uuid-d8189cd1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate 3 UUIDs for me — I need them to use as unique record IDs for new database entries.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need on-demand, server-side generation of UUIDs, API keys, or random tokens without relying on local libraries — especially useful for agents running in environments where crypto libraries are unavailable, or when you need guaranteed randomness with a simple paid API call. Prefer this over client-side generation when auditability or external generation is required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid type value returns an error if not one of the supported identifier types
- Count exceeding service limits may return an error or be capped
- Non-integer or negative count/length values may result in validation errors
- Network or payment issues (x402 protocol failure) will prevent the call from completing

## How this service works

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing one or more generated identifiers of the requested type (uuid, token, or api-key). For tokens and API keys the length is configurable; for UUIDs the standard format is used. The response includes the generated values ready for use.
