For the first paid request, follow [Pay with the CLI](https://tempo.xyz/developers/docs/guide/machine-payments/agent). ## Let an agent pay for services Set up your agent with the [prompt on the CLI overview](https://tempo.xyz/developers/docs/cli#set-up-your-agent). It installs two skills in skill-enabled agents such as Claude Code, Amp, and Codex: | Skill | Description | | --- | --- | | `tempo-wallet` | Readiness checks, balances, service discovery, and session and funding actions. | | `tempo-request` | Paid HTTP requests with payment preview (`--dry-run`) and execution. | Tempo Wallet uses mainnet for live payments. Check the network and balance before authorizing spending, and set both limits: * **Per command:** `tempo request --max-spend` caps one command's payment spending. * **Per account:** access-key limits apply separately to the signing key. See [Give an agent access](https://tempo.xyz/developers/docs/accounts/agents) for authorization and revocation. Service discovery returns endpoint metadata, and `--dry-run` reads the current payment terms without paying. Neither replaces handling the service's result or errors. For the commands, see [agent and script mode](https://tempo.xyz/developers/docs/cli/wallet#agent-and-script-mode). ## Find and pay for a service Search with `tempo wallet services --search ` and inspect the chosen service with `tempo wallet services `. Use its endpoint and schema in [`tempo request`](https://tempo.xyz/developers/docs/cli/request); preview with `--dry-run` and set `--max-spend` when paying. ## Reconcile and close payment sessions ```bash [Terminal] tempo wallet sessions list tempo wallet sessions sync tempo wallet sessions close --dry-run --all tempo wallet sessions close --orphaned tempo wallet sessions close --finalize ``` `sync` reconciles local records with onchain state. Inspect the close preview before closing sessions. `--orphaned` targets orphaned onchain channels; `--finalize` completes channels already pending close. ## Recover the wallet connection Run `tempo wallet whoami` to inspect readiness and balances. If the access key is stale, run `tempo wallet refresh`. If you're signed out, run `tempo wallet login`. For a request schema error, inspect `tempo wallet services `. For insufficient funds, [add funds](https://tempo.xyz/developers/docs/cli/wallet#add-funds). Add `-t` for machine-readable output in scripts.
