UUID generator
GET /api/uuidGenerate UUIDs. ?version=4 (default, random) or 7 (time-ordered), ?count=1..100.
Input
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
version | string | 4 (random) or 7 (time-ordered) |
count | string | How many (1-100, default 1) |
Example output
{
"version": 7,
"uuids": [
"0190a1b2-…"
]
}

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

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=uuid")).json();
let n = 0;
while (lz(createHash("sha256").update(c.challenge + ":" + n).digest()) < c.difficulty) n++;
await fetch("https://agent402.tools/api/uuid", { method: "GET", headers: { "X-Pow-Solution": c.token + ":" + n } });
Part of these workflows
This tool is one step in 2 curated multi-tool workflows - agents can fetch the whole sequence as an MCP prompt or call https://agent402.tools/api/skill-packs/{slug}/prompt.
- User onboarding - Take a signup form submission and run the full onboarding workup deterministically: validate the email, score the chosen password, mint a stable internal ID, derive a URL-safe handle from the display name, generate a recovery / API secret, hash the password for storage, and verify the 2FA setup code. One pass, every step a pure-CPU call.
- Server-side identity mint - The server-side identity-issuance round-trip: mint a random user-id (UUIDv4), derive a deterministic cross-system correlation-id (UUIDv5), turn the display name into a URL-safe handle, generate a one-time recovery password, hash it for storage, sign a session JWT with HMAC, and base64-encode the recovery bundle for transport. Seven pure-CPU tools - the canonical 'create-user' write path done as one deterministic pipeline.
