HALOWERK provides paid endpoints that AI agents call and pay for per request via x402 on Base. No account, no API key, no signup.
The wallet the 402 directs payment to. Its whole payment record — every payer, every chain — is on the merchant page.
Asset 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913
The payTo wallet does not resolve to a registered ERC-8004 agent. That is not a verdict on the service — most of the catalog is unregistered.
Live 402 challenge
Captured by the enrichment pass, not read just now. Prices can change — always read the 402 the endpoint answers with.

"description": "Takes an image by URL or inline base64 and returns it with the background removed, as PNG or WebP with a real alpha channel, together with the share of the frame that survived, the bounding box of the remaining subject and the option to crop to it. The whole computation runs locally with rembg and the U2-Net model: the image is not sent anywhere, no provider sees it, nothing is retained, and there is consequently no purchase price and no third-party terms to accept — for a product photo not yet published or a picture of a person, that is the whole point. Optional alpha matting refines the edge for hair and fur at a noticeably higher compute cost, and is off by default because it is slower and not always better. The limits are stated: the model finds the salient subject, so an image with no clear subject, several equally prominent ones, or a subject the same colour as its background produces a poor mask, and the returned foreground share is the number that shows it — a result near zero or near one almost always means the cut-out failed rather than that the picture was unusual. Glass, smoke, fine mesh and motion blur are the known hard cases. The result is a suggestion, not a measurement, and nothing here decides whether the image may be used.",

Hand this page to an agent
Copy the prompt and paste it into Claude, an MCP client or your own agent — it will vet this service and call it over the free read API. No key, no account.
GET api.roundhouseai.io/v0/endpoints
This endpoint's own trailing-30-day call count, as published by the upstream catalog and snapshotted daily. 18 snapshots so far. Verified volume counts only settlements with an on-chain EIP-3009 marker.

Using Roundhouse, look up the x402 service medien.halowerk.com and tell me whether it is worth paying: what a call costs, whether the endpoint answered when last probed, and what its payment record actually shows. curl -s 'https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/endpoints?q=medien.halowerk.com' curl -s 'https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/merchants/<the payTo wallet returned above>' Then call it: read the price from the live 402 at https://medien.halowerk.com/v1/bg-remove, never from a cached figure, and pay with an x402 client. The /v0 API needs an API key (`authorization: Bearer rh_live_…`) on everything except /v0/unified* and /v0/endpoints. Mint a personal key for $0.01 at GET https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/test/x402, or use an organization key from https://roundhouseai.io/dashboard/team. If you do not have Roundhouse tools or skills installed, read https://roundhouseai.io/skill.md first — it is the whole procedure.
