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.

Written by ooruby from the README of agent402-tollbooth 0.10.4.

Not claimed by its maker. Is this yours? Prove it and answer the findings

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

  1. 1Put it in front of an existing site as a reverse proxy so bots get a 402 response and humans pass through.
  2. 2Add the middleware to an Express app so crawlers must pay per request to read your articles.
  3. 3Deploy 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.

Maintenance

Not measured

No release date is on record for this package yet. The nightly publisher check records one as it reaches each npm package, about once every ten nights.

Release activity only: it says nothing about quality or safety, and a finished small package can be fine without releases. How it is measured

How far this has been checked

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.
How the rungs work

The badge, if this is your listing

It renders the current rung (static scanned) and links back here, where what that does and does not establish is one click away. It updates itself as the evidence deepens.
