Text Base64
by Forest Agent Tools in Developer tools
Encode bounded caller-supplied UTF-8 text as standard or URL-safe Base64, or decode canonical Base64 back to valid UTF-8 text. Forest performs the transform locally with no network request and rejects invalid encodings, non-UTF-8 decoded bytes, and outputs beyond the 100 KiB byte bound. Base mainnet USDC

}Call it from code
The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $0.001.
