aiworker for the OpenAI Agents SDK

Paid aiworker routes as OpenAI Agents SDK tools. One import builds a tool per route from the live OpenAPI catalogue; each call pays over x402 from your own Base wallet. Copy src/ into your agent, not this directory listing.

Install

npm i aiworker-openai-agents-tools @openai/agents

Then copy src/ (catalog.ts, schema.ts, payer.ts, types.ts, tools.ts) and build the tools with the framework's tool injected (this package never imports @openai/agents itself):

import { Agent, tool } from "@openai/agents";
import { buildAiworkerTools } from "./src/index.js";
const tools = await buildAiworkerTools({
  tool,
  privateKey: process.env.AIWORKER_PRIVATE_KEY as `0x${string}`,
  maxPriceUsd: 0.05,
});
const agent = new Agent({ name: "aiworker", instructions: "Answer with live data.", tools });

Prefer plain definitions (no framework needed) with aiworkerToolDefinitions({ baseUrl, maxPriceUsd, routes }), then pass each one to tool() yourself.

Wallet

You need a Base wallet holding USDC. The key stays in an env var (AIWORKER_PRIVATE_KEY); it is never logged, committed, or sent anywhere except as an EIP-3009 signature inside the x402 payment header.

Price cap

maxPriceUsd drops every route priced above it (default: no cap). The example uses 0.05, so only sub-nickel routes become tools. Each tool description carries its exact per-call price ($0.05 per call, USDC on Base).

No key, pay per call

No API key to manage — no key, pay per call: every tool call pays its own quoted price over x402 (USDC on Base) straight from your wallet.

Routes and prices

| Tool | Route | Price | |---|---|---| | aiworker_get_v1_token_info | GET /v1/token/info | $0.005 | | aiworker_post_v1_scrape_markdown | POST /v1/scrape/markdown | $0.02 | | aiworker_post_v1_polymarket_backtest | POST /v1/polymarket/backtest | $0.25 |

The table is the trimmed fixture; the live catalogue has seventeen routes, all priced at $0.05 or less — see the catalogue at https://aiworker.duckdns.org/llms.txt.

Example

AIWORKER_PRIVATE_KEY=0x… pnpm --filter @aiworker/example-openai-agents example

Lists the capped tools, calls token/info once for Base USDC (0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913), and prints the answer plus the settlement hash. Refuses to run without the key (exit 2).

What it does not do

• No Solana: EVM/Base only, even where the server also quotes Solana.
• No MCP: plain SDK tools, not a Model Context Protocol server.
• No retries of a failed settlement: a non-2xx answer comes back as {"error": <status>, "body": …} and the call is over.
• No free routes: /health and the catalogue itself never become tools.
• No key management: bring your own funded wallet and env var.
