Agent402 Tollbooth
agenttools1775 · Agent
Agent402 Tollbooth is a self-hostable, open-source gateway that puts a pay-per-request gate in front of any website or API. Human visitors get through without charge, while AI crawlers and agents receive a 402 response and either pay in USDC over x402 or MPP, the Machine Payments Protocol, or solve a proof-of-work puzzle. You hold the wallet, and it runs as Express middleware, a reverse proxy, an edge function or a Docker container. It suits site and API owners who want to charge bot traffic.

Why it's useful
Your site or API can charge AI crawlers and agents per request while human visitors are not charged.
What you could do with it
- Put it in front of an existing site as a reverse proxy so bots get a 402 response and humans pass through.
- Add the middleware to an Express app so crawlers must pay per request to read your articles.
- Deploy the ready-made Cloudflare Workers or Next.js template to gate requests at the edge.
Written from its documentation: what it says it can do, not what our checks found.

Static scanned
- What it establishes
- Its published package, or for a hosted server its source repository at a recorded commit, was read file by file, without running it, by every check in our current scan.
- What it does not
- How it behaves when it runs, or anything the scan does not read yet: several rubric checks, the repository's history, and compiled code in folders named dist or build. For a hosted server, that the endpoint runs the code that was read. The ooruby Index sets out exactly what was read.
- Exactly what was read
- Version 0.10.4, the file with digest sha512-o5hKdiJ/L7SfYIZwzS4h5U2fZWkn/w66lvC8D1P06lRon03RF4D+X+nox5KM4Mdr6brEZjfmc/cUSQ6PUJxa3Q==, as the registry publishes it. A published version cannot be replaced, so this names the same bytes for anyone who checks.
- Authentication
- Runs locally. No hosted endpoint is listed for this package. You run it on your own machine, so there is no endpoint of ours to authenticate against.
Adding it

npx -y agent402-tollbooth@0.10.4Pinned to 0.10.4, which is the version the findings above were found in. Drop the version to take whatever is newest, and the report on this page stops describing what you installed.
