The fetch tool sends an HTTP request to any URL and automatically handles SIWX authentication and payment if the endpoint requires them. Equivalent CLI command: npx agentcash fetch <url>

​
Parameters

​
url
string
required
The URL to fetch.
​
method
string
default:"GET"
HTTP method. One of GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE.
​

​
headers
string[]
Additional HTTP headers. Each entry must be a string in Name: value format.
​
timeout
number
Request timeout in milliseconds.
​
paymentProtocol
string
Force a specific payment protocol: x402 or mpp. By default, AgentCash auto-selects.
​

string
Preferred network for SIWX and payment when applicable. By default, AgentCash auto-selects.
​
maxAmount
number

​
Response

The tool returns the response body along with payment metadata when a payment was made:
​
data
object
The parsed response body from the endpoint.
​
paymentInfo
object
Payment details, present when a 402 payment was made.

​
Behavior

  1. Sends the request to the target URL
  2. If the response is 402 Payment Required with a SIWX challenge, signs the challenge and retries with auth headers
  3. If the route still returns 402, reads the accepted protocols (x402, mpp) and networks from the challenge
  4. Picks a protocol/network your wallet supports and checks the balance against the required amount
  5. Signs the payment proof (on-chain USDC transfer for x402, off-chain signed intent for MPP)
  6. Retries the request with the payment proof attached
  7. Returns the final response and payment info
