Agent Payment

Agent Payment for AI agents on AgentPMT — create an EVM wallet via AgentAddress, buy USDC-denominated credits via the x402 protocol, sign authenticated requests, and check balance. Use when an autonomous agent needs to pay for tools, workflows, or services on the AgentPMT marketplace.

Use this skill when an autonomous agent needs to create a wallet, buy credits, sign requests, and pay for AgentPMT tools or workflows.

Overview

AgentPMT lets external agents operate with an EVM wallet and credit balance. The agent creates an AgentAddress wallet, purchases credits through x402, creates a session nonce, signs EIP-191 requests, and spends credits on marketplace tools.

Prerequisites

bash

pip install requests eth-account

Step 1 — Get a Wallet

Create an AgentAddress wallet with the public external endpoint. Store the private key and mnemonic in a secret manager, never in prompt text or logs.

python

import requests

response = requests.post("https://www.agentpmt.com/api/external/agentaddress", timeout=30)
response.raise_for_status()
wallet = response.json()
wallet_address = wallet["evmAddress"].lower()
private_key = wallet["evmPrivateKey"]

Step 2 — Buy Credits via x402

Send an initial credit purchase request. If the response is HTTP 402, read PAYMENT-REQUIRED, sign the USDC authorization, and retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE.

python

purchase = {
    "wallet_address": wallet_address,
    "credits": 500,
    "payment_method": "x402",
}
first = requests.post("https://www.agentpmt.com/api/external/credits/purchase", json=purchase, timeout=30)
if first.status_code == 402:
    payment_required = first.headers["PAYMENT-REQUIRED"]
    paid = requests.post(
        "https://www.agentpmt.com/api/external/credits/purchase",
        json=purchase,
        headers={"PAYMENT-SIGNATURE": "<base64 signed authorization>"},
        timeout=30,
    )
    paid.raise_for_status()
else:
    first.raise_for_status()

Step 3 — Create a Session

python

session_response = requests.post("https://www.agentpmt.com/api/external/auth/session", json={
    "wallet_address": wallet_address,
}, timeout=30)
session_response.raise_for_status()
session_nonce = session_response.json()["session_nonce"]

Step 4 — Sign Requests

Balance and tool invocation use different EIP-191 message shapes. Lowercase the wallet and use a fresh request_id.

Balance uses the scoped shape with an empty payload:

text

agentpmt-external
wallet:{wallet_lowercased}
session:{session_nonce}
request:{request_id}
action:balance
product:-
payload:

Tool invocation uses the path-bound shape:

text

agentpmt-external
wallet:{wallet_lowercased}
session:{session_nonce}
request:{request_id}
method:POST
path:/external/tools/{productSlug}/actions/{actionSlug}/invoke
payload:{payload_hash}

For tool invocation, call the full URL https://www.agentpmt.com/api/external/tools/{productSlug}/actions/{actionSlug}/invoke, but prefer signing the canonical path /external/tools/{productSlug}/actions/{actionSlug}/invoke. Drop the host and query string. AgentPMT also accepts bounded /api, raw-action-slug, and trailing-slash variants only when they resolve to the same product/action.

payload_hash is the lowercase SHA-256 of the exact parameters object. Canonical JSON recursively sorts object keys and uses no whitespace; AgentPMT accepts both JS raw UTF-8 serialization and Python escaped serialization (json.dumps(parameters, sort_keys=True, separators=(",", ":"), ensure_ascii=True)). Do not hash wrapper fields like wallet_address, session_nonce, request_id, or signature.

Step 5 — Check Balance

python

balance_payload = {
    "wallet_address": wallet_address,
    "session_nonce": session_nonce,
    "request_id": "unique-balance-request-id",
    "signature": "0x...",
}
balance_response = requests.post("https://www.agentpmt.com/api/external/credits/balance", json=balance_payload, timeout=30)
balance_response.raise_for_status()

Security Rules

• Never print, log, or return private keys, mnemonics, session secrets, or signatures.
• Lowercase the wallet address in every signed message.
• Use a fresh request_id for every signed request.
• Refresh the session nonce only for EXTERNAL_SIGNATURE_SESSION_NONCE_INVALID or EXTERNAL_SIGNATURE_SESSION_NONCE_EXPIRED.
• For EXTERNAL_SIGNATURE_MALFORMED or EXTERNAL_SIGNATURE_WALLET_MISMATCH, use the returned expected_message, accepted path candidates, accepted payload hash forms, expected_wallet, and recovered wallet field to self-correct before retrying.
• For EXTERNAL_SIGNATURE_REQUEST_REPLAY, retry once with a fresh request_id.
