JustHandled Agent Client

A guarded CLI, JavaScript client, and local MCP server for the JustHandled Agent Utility Gateway. The package exposes thirty-two preflights, maintained-data lookups, and evidence products. Twenty-two products cost $0.05 USDC; ten evidence-heavy or maintained-data products cost $0.25, including the live Chicago Contract Change Packet. Every paid call returns a versioned evidence receipt.

The client fails closed before signing. It accepts only the pinned JustHandled gateway, Base mainnet, canonical Base USDC, the exact per-product price, and the published merchant receiver. Customer inputs and complete customer results are not persisted by the gateway; maintained public-source snapshots are labeled in the receipt.

Preview performs an unpaid request and validates the returned x402 terms. It does not sign or spend.

The catalog includes API-response contract drift, webhook contract and replay, and policy-change evidence products. Packaged example inputs are available in examples/.

Machine-readable products, exact payment terms, and free deterministic fixtures are available from the gateway's product catalog, OpenAPI document, and sandbox index.

Execute one paid utility

Use a dedicated low-balance Base wallet. Never provide a primary wallet key.

export JH_EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=0x...
npx --package @justhandledlabs/agent-client justhandled-agent call filename-portability-preflight --json '{"paths":["CON.txt"]}'

PowerShell:

$env:JH_EVM_PRIVATE_KEY = "0x..."
npx.cmd --package @justhandledlabs/agent-client justhandled-agent call filename-portability-preflight --json '{"paths":["CON.txt"]}'

MCP configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "justhandled": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@justhandledlabs/agent-client"],
      "env": {
        "JH_EVM_PRIVATE_KEY": "0xDEDICATED_LOW_BALANCE_WALLET_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

The MCP server exposes a free catalog tool plus one paid tool per gateway utility. Missing wallet configuration produces an error instead of a payment attempt.

The package declares the official MCP Registry identity io.github.justhandledlabs/agent-gateway. Registry identity is discovery metadata only: installing or listing the server does not spend funds, and paid execution still requires a dedicated wallet plus the client's exact-term checks.

Security model

• Price, chain, asset, receiver, and gateway origin are pinned in code.

• The ten $0.25 products' 250,000-base-unit price is pinned separately from 50,000-base-unit checks.

• Every execution starts with an unpaid 402 preview.

• A mismatched term aborts before signing.

• The package never prints the private key.

• The gateway does not persist customer inputs or complete customer results. Maintained-data products may retain normalized public-source snapshots and disclose that state in the receipt.

• Treat all crypto transfers as irreversible and fund only a dedicated wallet.
