x402-native API vending machine
Primitive402 is a catalog of pay-per-call primitives for AI agents: composable x402 microtools for safe web ingestion, source verification, page proofs, return policy extraction, and subscription terms extraction.
Plain-English version
Primitive402 is a catalog of tiny APIs built for AI agents. Each tool does one small job: fetch a page safely, check prompt-injection risk, verify a claim against a source, capture a page proof, extract return policies, or extract subscription terms. Agents can call the free /v1 routes during development, or use /x402 routes to pay per call with USDC.
Paid per call APIs
Built for agent builders
Primitive402 is for developers who need schema-first microtools that agents can discover, price, call, and compose.
Copy, paste, inspect
Use the public beta URL for a free development call, or hit the matching x402 alias to see the payment challenge an x402-capable client would answer.
curl -s https://primitive402.dev/v1/extract-subscription-terms \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{
"url": "https://stripe.com/legal/subscription-policy",
"strictness": "medium",
"maxSnippets": 8
}' | jq
curl -i https://primitive402.dev/x402/v1/extract-subscription-terms \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{
"url": "https://stripe.com/legal/subscription-policy"
}'
Expected result: HTTP 402 Payment Required
Structured output
Responses are compact JSON objects with normalized fields, source snippets, confidence, and metadata the caller can route on.
{
"has_subscription_terms": true,
"trial_available": true,
"renewal_type": "auto-renewal",
"billing_frequency": "monthly",
"confidence": 0.92
}
Current x402 microtools
Every card below comes from the route catalog used by discovery metadata, x402 configuration, MCP registration, and OpenAPI references.
Use before ingesting raw webpage content into an AI agent context.
/v1/safe-fetch-url
/x402/v1/safe-fetch-url
Output preview: { "contentHash": "sha256:...", "riskLevel": "low" }
Use before treating external webpage, email, document, or tool output text as trusted task context.
/v1/check-prompt-injection-risk
/x402/v1/check-prompt-injection-risk
Output preview: { "riskScore": 42, "riskLevel": "medium" }
Use before citing a webpage as evidence for a claim in agent-generated research or writing.
/v1/verify-claim-against-source
/x402/v1/verify-claim-against-source
Output preview: { "verdict": "supported", "confidence": 0.81 }
Use before acting on price, policy, availability, or source content that may need an audit trail.
/v1/create-page-proof
/x402/v1/create-page-proof
Output preview: { "proofId": "proof_...", "contentHash": "sha256:..." }
Use before a shopping or browser agent recommends, compares, or purchases a product.
/v1/extract-return-policy
/x402/v1/extract-return-policy
Output preview: { "return_window_days": 30, "free_returns": true }
Use before a shopping, SaaS-buying, browser, or research agent recommends, purchases, or summarizes a subscription product.
/v1/extract-subscription-terms
/x402/v1/extract-subscription-terms
Output preview: { "renewal_type": "auto-renewal", "confidence": 0.92 }
Agent-readable docs
Agents and builders can discover the same tools through catalogs, x402 metadata, Bazaar-style metadata, OpenAPI, /llms.txt, and /.well-known/agent-tools.json.
Human and developer route catalog with local and paid aliases.
Paid route catalog with x402 protocol metadata and prices.
Bazaar-style metadata for x402 discovery surfaces.
Schema document for generated clients and route inspection.
Plain-text agent discovery summary with resources and tool names.
Small well-known JSON file for agent-readable Primitive402 tool discovery.
Payment flow
Free /v1/* routes are available for development and testing. Paid /x402/v1/* aliases currently use Base Sepolia for the public beta/testnet; production/mainnet payment setup may evolve. Public beta payments have been tested end-to-end on Base Sepolia testnet.
An agent reads /catalog.json, /x402/catalog.json, Bazaar metadata, OpenAPI, MCP tools, or /llms.txt.
The agent calls a paid alias such as /x402/v1/extract-subscription-terms.
Primitive402 returns HTTP 402 Payment Required; an x402-capable client pays the exact route price in USDC and retries.
The product handler returns agent-ready JSON with source-grounded snippets, page metadata, confidence, hashes, or structured extraction fields.
Safety and provenance
Web ingestion and verification primitives for agent workflows that need clean text, risk signals, grounded snippets, or lightweight proof artifacts.
Shopping and subscriptions
Policy extraction tools for agents that compare products, recommend purchases, or summarize subscription commitments before action.
Structured calls

Agent connectors
Primitive402 also exposes MCP tools for AI agents and a TypeScript SDK for application code. Hosted docs are available for both integration surfaces.
Run pnpm build and pnpm mcp to expose the same catalog-backed tools over JSON-RPC.
