# ForgeMesh Secret Key Generator

> ForgeMesh Secret Key Generator is a paid API for AI agents from x402.forgemesh.io, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Generates cryptographically secure random secrets — alphanumeric strings, hex strings, or UUIDs — from OS-grade entropy with configurable length and batch size.

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 forgemesh-secret-key-generator-040e91a9 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate a batch of 10 cryptographically secure hex secrets, each 64 characters long, for use as signing keys in our deployment pipeline.

## When to prefer this

Prefer this endpoint when you need genuine OS-grade entropy rather than model-generated or pseudo-random strings — especially for signing keys, temporary credentials, session tokens, API keys, or database identifiers in automated pipelines. Choose over a UUID library when you want hex or alphanumeric secrets of configurable length, or when you need a stateless external source of randomness in a serverless or sandboxed environment.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid type value (not uuid/hex/alphanumeric) returns an error
- Length out of range (below 8 or above 128) returns a validation error
- Count exceeding 20 for UUID batch returns an error
- Malformed request body returns a 400-level error
- Payment not received or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 error

## How this service works

Generates unambiguous alphanumeric secrets, hex strings, and UUIDs from OS-grade entropy in a single call, with length and batch size configurable. For provisioning temporary credentials, signing keys, and identifiers in automated pipelines that need real randomness rather than a plausible-looking string guessed by a model.

## Output

Returns one or more randomly generated secrets of the specified type (hex, alphanumeric, or UUID), at the requested length, derived from OS-grade entropy. For UUID batches, up to 20 UUIDs are returned in a single response.
