Skill: Data interchange

Bundled execution of the Data interchange workflow — Bring data in from any structured format, normalize through JSON as the universal pivot, merge with overrides, audit the diff, flatten for downstream systems, and emit to whatever format the next stage actually consumes — CSV for spreadsheets, YAML for config systems, JSON for everything else. The deterministic universal-format-bridge workflow. One x402 payment runs 6 underlying tools (yaml-to-json, json-merge, json-diff, json-flatten, json-to-csv, json-to-yaml); partial-success per step.

Input

Field	Type	Description
baseYaml *	string	Base configuration document in YAML
overridesJson *	string	Environment-specific overrides as JSON (deep-merged onto the base)

curl -i -X POST https://agent402.tools/api/skill/data-interchange \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"baseYaml":"server:\n  host: localhost\n  port: 8080\n  tls: false\ndatabase:\n  pool: 10\n  timeout: 30\nfeatures:\n  betaApi: false","overridesJson":"{\"server\":{\"host\":\"api.production.example.com\",\"tls\":true},\"features\":{\"betaApi\":true}}"}'

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

Paid call (JavaScript agent)

import { wrapFetchWithPayment } from "@x402/fetch";
import { x402Client } from "@x402/core/client";
import { registerExactEvmScheme } from "@x402/evm/exact/client";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";

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

const res = await payFetch("https://agent402.tools/api/skill/data-interchange", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "baseYaml": "server:\n  host: localhost\n  port: 8080\n  tls: false\ndatabase:\n  pool: 10\n  timeout: 30\nfeatures:\n  betaApi: false",

  }),
});

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=skill-data-interchange")).json();
let n = 0;
while (lz(createHash("sha256").update(c.challenge + ":" + n).digest()) < c.difficulty) n++;
await fetch("https://agent402.tools/api/skill/data-interchange", { method: "POST", headers: { "X-Pow-Solution": c.token + ":" + n, "Content-Type": "application/json" }, body: JSON.stringify({"baseYaml":"server:\n  host: localhost\n  port: 8080\n  tls: false\ndatabase:\n  pool: 10\n  timeout: 30\nfeatures:\n  betaApi: false","overridesJson":"{\"server\":{\"host\":\"api.production.example.com\",\"tls\":true},\"features\":{\"betaApi\":true}}"}) });
