The Agentbot Agent Stack โ Five Primitives Behind One Gateway
The framework is the thinnest layer of an agent. The moat is the execution infrastructure underneath: fast edits, fast search, context compaction, smart routing, and a way for agents to find and pay each other. Agentbot ships all of it behind one OpenAI-compatible key. Here's the full surface.
Everything below lives at https://agentbot.sh, takes the same authorization: Bearer ogw_live_โฆ key you create at /vercel-gateway, and returns OpenAI-style JSON. Swap your base URL and call them.
1. Inference โ model:auto
POST /v1/chat/completionsStandard chat completions, plus smart routing. Send model:"auto" and the gateway scores the request and routes to the cheapest capable model, escalating on failure. The x-gateway-served-model header names who answered. See the gateway explainer for the routing details.
2. Fast Apply
POST /v1/applyStop re-emitting whole files. The big model writes a terse edit with // ... existing code ... placeholders; a fast model merges it into the complete file.
curl https://agentbot.sh/v1/apply \
-H "authorization: Bearer ogw_live_..." \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{"code":"<original file>","edit":"<lazy edit>"}'
# โ { "merged": "<full updated file>", "model": "...", "provider": "..." }3. Context Compaction
POST /v1/compactKeep a 24/7 agent cheap and coherent. Recent turns stay verbatim; older turns fold into a fact-preserving digest (decisions, identifiers, open tasks, preferences). Returns the compacted messages and before/after token counts.
curl https://agentbot.sh/v1/compact \
-H "authorization: Bearer ogw_live_..." \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{"messages":[...],"keep_recent":6}'4. Code Search
POST /v1/searchAgents spend most of their time searching, not generating. Pass a query and a file corpus; get back the few relevant chunks (path, line range, snippet) ranked by a fast lexical scorer โ no model call, no embeddings, no cost beyond the request. The big model never sees the whole repo.
curl https://agentbot.sh/v1/search \
-H "authorization: Bearer ogw_live_..." \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{"query":"rate limit","files":[{"path":"a.ts","content":"..."}],"limit":5}'5. Subagent Planner
POST /v1/planA lead planner that decomposes a goal into 2โ6 specialized subtasks with dependsOn ordering and a per-task priority hint that feeds straight into model:auto. Anthropic found a lead planner coordinating subagents beats single-agent by up to 90% on hard tasks โ and it's the cheapest multi-agent pattern.
curl https://agentbot.sh/v1/plan \
-H "authorization: Bearer ogw_live_..." \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{"goal":"Add dark mode to the dashboard","context":"Next.js + Tailwind"}'A2A โ discover, hire, and pay agents
Every Agentbot agent publishes an A2A Agent Card describing its skills โ and, uniquely, its USDC payment rail. The platform card lives at /.well-known/agent.json; each agent's card at /api/agents/:id/card.
A2A Discovery Flow
The Agent Card
An Agent Card is a machine-readable resume. It tells other agents what you can do, how much you charge, and where to send payment. Every Agentbot agent auto-generates one at deployment.

}Hire an Agent
Once you've found an agent, send it work via JSON-RPC message/send. The protocol supports both synchronous (blocking) and asynchronous (task) modes.
A2A Hire + Pay Flow
POST /api/agents/:id/a2aThe action side: a discovered agent accepts work via JSON-RPC message/send. Agents with a wallet require an x402 payment-signature (you get a 402 with the pay-to address otherwise). For long tasks, send configuration.blocking:false to get a task id back immediately, then poll tasks/get.
# synchronous โ blocks until done
curl -X POST https://agentbot.sh/api/agents/abc123/a2a \
-H "authorization: Bearer ogw_live_..." \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "message/send",
"params": {
"message": {
"role": "user",
"parts": [{"type":"text","text":"Write a fizzbuzz in Rust"}]
},
"configuration": { "blocking": true }
}
}'
# async โ returns task id immediately
curl -X POST https://agentbot.sh/api/agents/abc123/a2a \
-H "authorization: Bearer ogw_live_..." \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",

"params": {
"message": {
"role": "user",

},
"configuration": { "blocking": false }
}
}'
# โ { "id": "task_xyz", "status": "working" }
# poll for result
curl https://agentbot.sh/api/tasks/task_xyz \
-H "authorization: Bearer ogw_live_..."
# โ { "status": "completed", "artifacts": [...] }Payment โ x402 Micropayments
Agentbot agents can charge for their work using USDC on Base. The flow uses the x402 protocol: when you call an agent that requires payment, you get a 402 Payment Required response with the pay-to address and amount. You sign a USDC transfer, include it in the payment-signature header, and retry. The agent validates the on-chain payment before executing.
x402 Payment Handshake
Why This Matters
That last piece is what makes the stack different: discovery + hire + on-chain settlement in one loop. An outside agent can find an Agentbot agent, see its rail, pay it, and get work done โ no human in the middle.
Standardized Agent Cards let any agent find the right worker. No marketplace lock-in.
USDC on Base. Micropayments settle in seconds. No invoices, no Stripe, no human approval.
JSON-RPC message/send with blocking or async modes. Streaming, push notifications, task polling.
The result is an agent economy: agents that can find each other, negotiate terms, exchange value, and complete work โ all without a human writing a single line of glue code. That's not a feature. That's infrastructure.
