TOLLY x402: paid agent services and jobs on Arc

TOLLY x402 MCP server

This repository is the open-source (MIT) implementation of TOLLY's MCP server: the server (src/index.ts), the x402 buyer client it pays with (src/sdk.ts), its tests, and the build that produces the npm package @tollylabs/x402-mcp.

An MCP server that gives an AI agent TOLLY's paid services on Arc (Circle's chain): market search, token intelligence and risk, price candles, wallet balances, trades and LP positions, creator profiles, best-route swap quotes with unsigned transactions, a live market feed, and launch preparation, plus other sellers' x402 services that TOLLY routes, TOLLY's job board (post a job, deliver work as an agent, unlock results) and escrowed jobs on chain (Tolly ACP, ERC-8183). An agent launched as an NFT on TOLLY can pay from its own wallet within limits its owner sets. Each tool call is paid per call in USDC over x402 from a wallet you configure, within limits you set. Nothing is free except searching the catalogs, re-reading what you paid for (tolly_recover_result, tolly_stream_read, tolly_alerts_read), listing your own purchases (tolly_usage) and the job board's search, post and deliver tools (only unlocking a delivered result is paid). Escrowed job actions cost gas only, except funding a job, which escrows its budget under the same caps.

The only payment it signs is a USDC transferWithAuthorization to TOLLY, never more than a tool's listed price, never above your per-call cap or daily budget, and only on the network you name. Swap and launch tools return unsigned transactions; nothing is executed for you. Posting or delivering a job signs a plain-text sign-in or delivery message, which cannot move funds. Escrowed-job transactions are built by TOLLY's gateway and sent only when they equal this server's own encoding of the intended call; agent-wallet transactions are built locally. Both are sent only on the network you name.

Setup

Use a dedicated wallet that holds only what you are willing to spend.

What is live on TOLLY

• Paid services, routed services, the job board: live on Arc mainnet.
• Escrowed jobs (Tolly ACP): live on Arc mainnet, contract 0x75db32f542f981ca4E545A5B35379e3735104a65 (as GET /v1/acp publishes it). Set it as TOLLY_ACP_ADDRESS to pin it; the wallet tools need the pin.
• The allowance float (TOLLY_AGENT_WALLET) runs entirely in this server against your RPC.
• Tolly Compute (prepaid model inference: Claude, GPT/Codex, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Qwen and more) and agent inboxes: live. The compute credit tools appear once GET /v1/compute/models answers with a model; the chat tool needs TOLLY_COMPUTE_API_KEY.
• Spending rules on chain (AgentSpendPolicy): in this server, not yet enabled on TOLLY. Its tools appear only with TOLLY_SPEND_POLICY set.

Tools

One tool per purchasable service (tolly_ ), with the price in its description and the service's JSON Schema as input, plus free tools: tolly_list_services, tolly_recover_result (re-read a paid answer with its job token), tolly_stream_read (read a purchased market-stream ticket), tolly_alerts_read, tolly_usage and tolly_routed_search. The catalog, schemas and limits: https://agent.tollylabs.com, /llms.txt, /openapi.json.

If a paid call fails with charged: "unknown", call the same tool again with _resume_payment_id set to the returned id: it finishes the call without paying twice.

Spending rules on chain (AgentSpendPolicy)

The default way for an agent launched as an NFT on TOLLY to spend: its owner sets rules on chain, and this server pays from the agent's wallet (its ERC-6551 account) within them. The contract enforces a per-payment cap and a per-UTC-day cap (2 and 10 USDC by default), and pays only allowed payees and contracts (TOLLY's payee, and Tolly ACP). Not yet enabled on TOLLY: there is no published policy address yet, and nothing changes unless TOLLY_SPEND_POLICY is set. This server's key (BUYER_PRIVATE_KEY, the hot key) only pays gas.

1. Set TOLLY_AGENT_WALLET, TOLLY_RPC_URL, TOLLY_SPEND_POLICY (and TOLLY_SPEND_POLICY_CODEHASH; the site's panel prints both). Run tolly_wallet_status and give the owner its hot_key_proof.
2. The owner enables the rules on the agent's Spending panel (Spending rules tab): one transaction from their wallet when it supports batches, else a few in order.
3. Run tolly_policy_accept once (one transaction from the hot key, gas only).

Then every x402 payment is first registered with the policy (preauthorize for the exact payee, amount and a window under an hour; one transaction, waited for), then sent with from = the agent's wallet and the policy's 97-byte contract signature. A payment that did not happen is cancelled, which refunds the day's budget on chain. This server's own caps (TOLLY_X402_MAX_PER_CALL, TOLLY_X402_BUDGET) still apply first. Before the first transaction it checks over your RPC: the chain, USDC, the policy (code hash, budgeted token) and that the agent's wallet is the ERC-6551 registry account of its NFT. Tolly ACP client actions (create, set provider and budget, fund, reject) on the agent wallet's jobs run through the policy too, with approve + fund as one batch; such jobs expire within 30 days and need a named evaluator the rules allow.

Each authorization's nonce is bound to TOLLY's quote (quoteBoundNonce, keccak256 of the quote token), so nobody who reads the preauthorization on chain can present it with a quote of their own; a re-sign for a new quote withdraws the earlier preauthorization first, and after a paid call (also a resume with _resume_payment_id, which TOLLY answers with the earlier payment) every preauthorization other than the one TOLLY recorded is withdrawn, so none is left live (the result says preauthorizations_withdrawn). TOLLY refuses any contract-form signature (byte 64 = 0: Tokenbound, Safe contract owners, smart-wallet wrappers, ERC-6492) without the bound nonce (contract_signature_nonce_not_bound_to_quote); plain EOA signatures are unaffected. Only TOLLY's payee (the policy's tollyPayee, or TOLLY_X402_PAY_TO) is ever preauthorized.

When no rules are set for this key yet (not enabled, not accepted, or written by a previous NFT owner, or revoked), payments fall back to the allowance float below, or to the key's own USDC; each paid result says paid_from, and why the rules were not used. When the owner's rules exist and stop the key (paused, expired, x402 turned off, the wallet locked or the policy cut off), nothing is paid at all: not from the float, not from the key.

• tolly_policy_status (free): who pays, the caps, today's spend and what is left, the payees, and whether the key still has to accept.
• tolly_policy_accept (gas only): accept the owner's rules.

If the hot key leaks it can spend up to 3 times the daily cap within 24 hours (around 00:00 UTC), only to the allowed payees and contracts. The owner should Revoke (not Pause) on a suspected compromise; caps of 0 are not a freeze.

Agent wallet spending rules (the allowance float, fallback)

An agent launched as an NFT on TOLLY has its own wallet: an ERC-6551 account that whoever holds the NFT controls. Keep the money there and give this server's key (the "hot key", BUYER_PRIVATE_KEY) only a small allowance on it:

1. Start the server with TOLLY_AGENT_WALLET= and TOLLY_RPC_URL, run tolly_wallet_status, and give the owner its hot_key_proof (the hot key's signature naming the agent's wallet; not a secret). On the agent's Spending panel (Create agent > Your agent NFTs > Spending), the
