Token balances (named contracts)
POST /api/token-balancesERC-20 balances of one wallet for a NAMED list of token contracts (1-20) - the targeted complement to the full-portfolio wallet-balance tool. Send POST /api/token-balances with the required fields address and contracts and pay $0.002 per call over x402 or MPP (there is no free tier). It returns a JSON object with network, chainId, address, tokens, source and 1 more.
One balance read for the whole list plus symbol/decimals per contract (cached an hour server-side), so 'how much USDC and WETH does this wallet hold on Base?' is a single cheap call with exact decimal strings, not a portfolio dump.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
address | string | yes | 0x-prefixed 40-char EVM wallet address. Also accepted as addr, wallet, account. |
contracts | array of string | yes | 1-20 ERC-20 contract addresses to read. |
network | string | no | ethereum / base / polygon / arbitrum / optimism (default ethereum). |
Example request
curl -i -X POST https://agent402.tools/api/token-balances \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"address":"0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045","contracts":["0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48","0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2"],"network":"ethereum"}'
Without payment this returns HTTP 402 Payment Required with the exact price for token-balances; any x402 v2 or MPP client pays it and retries.

The hosted connector at https://agent402.tools/mcp needs a payment for token-balances; the stdio package pays it from a wallet or from AGENT402_CREDITS_KEY. Local install: npx -y agent402-mcp.
Errors and behavior
addressandcontractsare required. An input the tool rejects returns an HTTP 4xx whose body carrieserror,tool,expected,requiredandexample, so the caller can correct it.- A paid call that ends in any status of 400 or above is not charged over x402, MPP or a prepaid credits key: settlement is cancelled when the tool fails. The exception is a Tempo push credential, a transfer the buyer sent before the call: it settles before the tool runs, so if the tool then fails the payment is recorded as a refund owed to the paying wallet.
- Wallet-only: this tool reaches the network or stored state, so it has no proof-of-work tier. A prepaid card-credits key issued earlier (
Authorization: Bearer a402_...) also pays it. - A
GETorHEADto /api/token-balances returns the same 402 quote, so the price can be read without a body. - An
Idempotency-Keyheader makes a retried paid call replay the first 200 instead of charging again (an answer larger than 1 MB is not replayed).
