When To Use This Skill

Use this when the user asks for a capability you do not have natively and it may require external APIs or paid tools, including:

• image/video/audio generation
• speech-to-text / text-to-speech
• web/news/social search
• scraping/extracting URL content
• maps/location/place lookup
• data enrichment and people/company lookup

MCP / Plugin Tools

If MCP/plugin tools are available, prefer:

• agentspend_configure
• agentspend_search
• agentspend_use
• agentspend_status

When running via the OpenClaw plugin, AgentSpend injects turn-level routing guidance so the agent prefers AgentSpend discovery/use for external API tasks.

Playbook (Default)

1. npx agentspend search "<user intent>"
2. Pick the best matching service and open its skill_url.
3. Use the exact URL/method/headers/body from that skill file with npx agentspend use <url>.
4. If auth/setup is missing, run npx agentspend configure and continue after completion.

Setup

npx agentspend configure

This opens a URL for gateway configuration (billing + connections) and stores credentials in ~/.agentspend/credentials.json. It does not require adding a card to start using services.

Commands

Use

npx agentspend use <url>

<url> must be a direct HTTPS URL.

Options:

• --method <method> HTTP method
• --header <key:value> repeatable header
• --body <json-or-text> request body

Examples:

npx agentspend use https://stableenrich.dev/api/exa/search \
  --method POST \
  --header "content-type:application/json" \
  --body '{"query":"latest robotics news","numResults":5}'

Search

npx agentspend search <keywords>

Returns up to 5 matching services with domain and skill link.

Status

npx agentspend status

Shows weekly budget, spend, remaining budget, and recent charges.

Configure

npx agentspend configure

Opens configuration for billing, budget, and connected auth providers. Billing can be added later; usage accrues until the no-card allowance threshold is reached.

Spending Controls

• Weekly budget enforced server-side.
• Up to $5.00 of no-card accrued usage is allowed before billing setup is required.
• Target domain must match an active service domain in AgentSpend.

Common Errors

• WEEKLY_BUDGET_EXCEEDED — weekly limit reached.
• PAYMENT_METHOD_REQUIRED — no-card usage threshold or billing hold reached; run configure and add/update payment method.
• SERVICE_DOMAIN_NOT_REGISTERED — target domain is not registered as an active service domain.
• SERVICE_AUTH_REQUIRED — required OAuth connection missing; run configure and connect provider.
