Premium Messages
by Messages premium in AI models & inference
Anthropic Messages API over x402 - point the Anthropic SDK (or Claude Code / the Agent SDK) at base_url https://agent402.tools/v1/premium and pay $0.50 per call in USDC, no API key, no signup. Same models, caps and price as this tier's /chat/completions route; any model here is served through the Messages wire (Claude natively, others translated). Depth: `effort` (low..max) on Claude 4.7+, thinking.budget_tokens on older Claude.

Example request
From the listing.
POST https://agent402.tools/v1/premium/messages
content-type: application/json
{
"max_tokens": 256,
"messages": [
{
"content": "Summarize x402 in one sentence.",
"role": "user"
}
],
"model": "anthropic/claude-opus-5"
}Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
effort | string | No | Optional depth control for Claude 4.7+ (Opus 5, Sonnet 5, Fable 5.1): low | medium | high | xhigh | max, validated against the model's own list (GET /v1/models). Not accepted on Haiku 4.5 and older, which take thinking.budget_tokens instead |
max_tokens | integer | Yes | Required by the Messages API; clamped to the tier's output cap |
messages | array | Yes | Anthropic messages: {role: user|assistant, content: string | [text|image|tool_use|tool_result blocks]} |
model | string | No | Model id (OpenRouter naming, e.g. anthropic/claude-sonnet-5) - allowlisted per tier; omit (or "auto") on the auto tier |
stream | boolean | No | Anthropic SSE (message_start … message_stop) |
system | string | No | Optional system prompt (string or text blocks) |
thinking | object | No | Optional {type:"enabled", budget_tokens} | {type:"adaptive"} | {type:"disabled"} - thinking tokens are output tokens. On Claude 4.7+ (Opus 5, Sonnet 5, Fable 5.1) thinking is adaptive and `effort` is the depth control; a budget_tokens value is advisory there |
tools | array | No | Optional client tools {name, description, input_schema}; server/built-in tools are not served |
zdr | boolean | No | Optional - zero-data-retention providers only |
Example response
The provider's example. We can't check it without paying.
