AI Agent Toll

Stop blocking AI agents and start charging them. This sdk enforces HTTP 402 Payment Required at the Cloudflare Edge using USDC on Base.

Features

• 99% Agent Detection: Uses TLS Fingerprinting (JA4), Cloudflare Bot Scores, and behavioral heuristics (OpenClaw/Markdown detection).
• Zero-Latency: Performs all checks locally on the Edge. No third-party API round-trips.
• EIP-712 AccessGrants: Cryptographically secure off-chain signatures for machine-to-machine payments.
• Multi-Chain Support: Native support for Base (USDC), Polygon, and Solana.
• Universal: Native support for Hono and Vanilla Workers.

Installation

npm install ai-agent-toll

Usage (Hono)

import { Hono } from 'hono';
import { gatekeeper, TOKENS } from 'ai-agent-toll';

const app = new Hono();

app.use('/api/premium/*', gatekeeper({
  paymentAddress: '0xYourWalletAddress',
  rules: [
    { 
      pattern: '^/api/premium/research/.*', 
      price: '1.00', 
      token: TOKENS.USDC_BASE, 
      strategy: 'PAY' ,
      duration: 3600 // 1 hour of access per payment
    },
    { 
      pattern: '^/api/premium/blog/.*', 
      price: '0.05', 
      token: TOKENS.USDC_BASE, 
      strategy: 'PAY' 
    }
  ]
}));

export default app;

Usage (Vanilla Worker)

import { withGatekeeper } from 'ai-agent-toll';

const worker = {
  async fetch(req, env, ctx) {
    return new Response("Welcome, Verified Agent.");
  }
};

// Wrap the default export
export default {
  fetch: withGatekeeper(worker.fetch, {
    paymentAddress: '0x...',
    rules: [...]
  })
};

Privacy & Compliance

"Dark" by design.

• No Data Exfiltration: We never see your users' IPs, Headers, or Payloads.
• Local Verification: AccessGrants are verified cryptographically within your Worker.
• GDPR Ready: No PII is ever sent to our servers.

How it Works for Agents

1. Challenge: Agent hits a protected path -> Proxy returns 402 Payment Required.
2. Payment: Agent (or human) pays via the Link header or signs an EIP-712 message.
3. Access: Agent retries with Authorization: Gatekeeper <payload>.<signature>.
4. Verification: SDK verifies the on-chain transaction and signature locally.

🛠️ Roadmap & Development Status

Incoming: TLS Fingerprinting (JA4)

We are currently implementing JA4 Fingerprinting to provide 99.9% detection accuracy against "Stealth" bots that spoof headers.

• Header-based Agent Detection (User-Agent, Accept: markdown)
• Cloudflare Bot Score Integration (v1.0)
• TODO: JA4 TLS Fingerprinting (Requires Cloudflare Enterprise/Business)
• TODO: Global JA4 Reputation Database (Crowdsourced bot signatures)

Note: JA4 detection is currently in "Beta". If you are on a Cloudflare Pro plan, the SDK will fallback to high-accuracy Header and Behavioral analysis.
