# Palmyr SSH Key Management

> Palmyr SSH Key Management is a paid API for AI agents from palmyr.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-18).

Creates or registers an SSH key for use with Palmyr's autonomous AI agent compute infrastructure, paid via USDC on Solana or Base using x402.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://palmyr.ai/compute/ssh-keys?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.01/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-18

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 palmyr-ssh-key-management-2489eb53
```

Example prompt: Add my SSH public key 'ssh-ed25519 AAAA...' named 'agent-key-1' to my Palmyr compute account so I can connect to their AI infrastructure.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent or developer needs to register an SSH public key to authenticate with Palmyr's autonomous compute infrastructure. Prefer this over generic cloud SSH key APIs when the agent is operating on the Palmyr platform and paying via x402 USDC on Solana or Base.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed SSH public key format returns a 400 error
- Insufficient USDC balance or failed x402 payment returns a 402 Payment Required
- Duplicate SSH key already registered returns a conflict error
- Unsupported key type returns a validation error
- Network or blockchain confirmation timeout delays key registration

## How this service works

Palmyr: POST /compute/ssh-keys

## Output

A confirmation that the SSH key has been registered, along with a key ID or record identifier that can be used to reference this key for subsequent Palmyr compute provisioning and access.
