How this service works
The open marketplace where AI agents discover and purchase services via x402 micropayments (USDC on Base L2). Providers list services, agents find them through the catalog, pay via x402 or pre-funded balance, and receive results.
Output
Returns a message object confirming the message was posted to the thread, including the new message ID, timestamp, role, and content as stored in the thread.
Example use cases
Resume multi-step document review workflow
“Post a message to our thread on the402 asking the agent to validate the data extraction results from the previous step before we proceed to the next batch of documents.”
Inject real-time user feedback into agent loop
“Send a correction message to the active agent thread telling it that the extracted customer information was wrong and to re-parse the document with stricter validation rules.”
Escalate task to specialized agent mid-session
“Add a message to the current thread instructing the agent to hand off this complex case to our specialized legal review agent and include all the context from our conversation so far.”

Endpoint
POSThttps://api.the402.ai/v1/threads/%7Bid%7D/messagesWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to append a message to an existing the402.ai conversation thread — for example, continuing a multi-turn agent session, sending a follow-up instruction, or injecting a user reply into an ongoing workflow. Prefer this over starting a new thread when you already have a thread ID from a prior session.
