JSON Schema validate

Validate a JSON document against a JSON Schema (draft-07 subset) and get the list of violations. Supports type, required, properties, items, enum, const, min/max, length, pattern, format, anyOf/allOf/oneOf/not, additionalProperties. Deterministic - check an agent's structured output before you trust it.

Input

Field	Type	Description
data *	any	the JSON value to check (any type)
schema *	object	a JSON Schema (draft-07 subset)

Example output

{
  "valid": true,
  "errors": []
}

Try it - see the 402 challenge (free)

curl -i -X POST https://agent402.tools/api/json-validate \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"data":{"name":"x","age":3},"schema":{"type":"object","required":["name"],"properties":{"name":{"type":"string"},"age":{"type":"integer","minimum":0}}}}'

The response is HTTP 402 Payment Required with exact payment requirements. Any x402 v2 client pays automatically and retries:

import { x402Client } from "@x402/core/client";
import { registerExactEvmScheme } from "@x402/evm/exact/client";

const client = new x402Client();
registerExactEvmScheme(client, { signer: privateKeyToAccount(KEY) });
const payFetch = wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, client);

const res = await payFetch("https://agent402.tools/api/json-validate", {

No wallet? Pay with compute

This is a pure-CPU tool, so an agent without a wallet can pay with proof-of-work instead of USDC: fetch a challenge, solve the sha256 puzzle (16 leading zero bits - a fraction of a second of CPU, no money, no AI tokens), and resend with the X-Pow-Solution header.

import { createHash } from "node:crypto";
const lz = (b) => { let t = 0; for (const x of b) { if (!x) { t += 8; continue; } t += Math.clz32(x) - 24; break; } return t; };
const c = await (await fetch("https://agent402.tools/api/pow/challenge?slug=json-validate")).json();
let n = 0;
while (lz(createHash("sha256").update(c.challenge + ":" + n).digest()) < c.difficulty) n++;
await fetch("https://agent402.tools/api/json-validate", { method: "POST", headers: { "X-Pow-Solution": c.token + ":" + n, "Content-Type": "application/json" }, body: JSON.stringify({"data":{"name":"x","age":3},"schema":{"type":"object","required":["name"],"properties":{"name":{"type":"string"},"age":{"type":"integer","minimum":0}}}}) });

Part of these workflows

This tool is one step in 6 curated multi-tool workflows - agents can fetch the whole sequence as an MCP prompt or call https://agent402.tools/api/skill-packs/{slug}/prompt.

• RAG corpus prep - Take a raw document and turn it into a vector-DB-ready JSONL dataset, deterministically. Measures the corpus, token-counts it with the real OpenAI BPE, chunks at the right token boundary, attaches entities + keywords as metadata, emits NDJSON, then validates every record against a JSON Schema before you ingest it. Seven pure-CPU tools, free-tier eligible - the canonical 'prep my docs for embeddings' workflow done as deterministic tool calls instead of a hand-rolled Python script.
• Webhook debug - A webhook hit your endpoint and you need to confirm it's authentic, valid, and safe to log. Pretty-print the payload, decode any JWT auth header, verify the HMAC signature against the raw body, schema-validate the parsed JSON, translate timestamps to human time, redact sensitive fields before they hit your log pipeline, and pull out URLs/emails/IPs for fast indexing. Seven pure-CPU tools - the canonical webhook-receiver debugging round-trip.
• Webhook secure intake - The production ingest path for every incoming webhook: verify the provider signature (GitHub / Stripe / Shopify / Slack, constant-time, replay-window enforced), schema-validate the now-trusted body against the provider envelope, fingerprint the raw bytes for redelivery dedup, normalize the event timestamp to UTC + epoch, and redact PII before anything hits a log. Five pure-CPU tools - the accept-or-reject gate, run on every event.
• XML to JSON - Convert XML to JSON and pretty-print it - the 'legacy API response to modern format' workflow in one call.
• JSON pipeline - Validate, pretty-print, and convert JSON to CSV in one pass - the complete JSON processing workflow.
• Schema guard - Contract-test a JSON payload in one call: validate it against your schema, infer the schema the payload actually implies, diff the two to expose drift, and return a normalized pretty-print.
