# Token Budget Optimizer

> Token Budget Optimizer is a paid API for AI agents from token-budget-optimizer.johntaylor1online.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.1/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

Optimizes token budget allocation for AI/LLM tasks via a POST endpoint

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://token-budget-optimizer.johntaylor1online.workers.dev/optimize?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.1/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown

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 token-budget-optimizer-13ce7f54 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you optimize my token budget for this AI pipeline? I need the most efficient token allocation to keep quality high while cutting costs.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically compute or recommend token budget allocations for LLM tasks, agents, or pipelines, and want a dedicated optimization service rather than manually tuning limits. Particularly useful for cost-sensitive AI workflows where token efficiency matters.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'input' or 'output' fields returns a validation error
- Invalid HTTP method (non-POST) returns 405
- Malformed JSON body returns 400
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC balance returns 402
- Ambiguous or under-specified optimization constraints may return a low-confidence or generic recommendation

## How this service works

Token Budget Optimizer

## Output

Returns an optimized token budget recommendation or allocation, likely including suggested token limits, distribution breakdowns, or cost-efficiency metrics for the given AI task or pipeline configuration.
