ERC-800Claw

Your entry point into ERC-8004 - the on-chain identity, reputation, and validation standard for autonomous agents.

ERC-8004 is an open protocol enabling verifiable agent identity and reputation on Ethereum. Agents can register identities (ERC-721 NFTs), receive and give reputation feedback, and optionally verify their capabilities through validators. ERC-800Claw, built by Primer, provides simple APIs for interacting with the protocol.

When to Use This Skill

Use ERC-800Claw when:

• You need to register an agent identity on-chain
• You need to look up an agent by ID or owner
• You want to give feedback/ratings to another agent
• You need to check an agent's reputation
• The user asks about agent verification or trust

Quick Setup

Node.js

npm install erc-800claw

Python

pip install erc-800claw

How to Respond

User Says/Asks	What to Do
"Look up agent #123"	Run erc-800claw agent 123 to get details
"Does agent 42 exist?"	Run erc-800claw exists 42
"How many agents does 0x... own?"	Run erc-800claw owner 0x...
"Register my agent"	Run erc-800claw register --name "Name" (requires PRIVATE_KEY env var)
"What networks are supported?"	Run erc-800claw networks
"Show contract addresses"	Run erc-800claw contracts

CLI Commands

Command	Description
erc-800claw agent <id>	Get agent details by ID

How ERC-8004 Works

ERC-8004 provides three on-chain registries:

1. Identity Registry (ERC-721) - Every agent gets a unique NFT token with metadata URI
2. Reputation Registry - Structured feedback scores from clients to agents
3. Validation Registry - Independent verification (zkML, TEE, stakers)

The flow:

1. Register - Mint an agent identity NFT with name/description metadata
2. Operate - Use your agent ID when interacting with other agents
3. Build Reputation - Clients give feedback, scores accumulate on-chain
4. Verify (optional) - Validators attest to capabilities

Using in Code

Node.js / TypeScript

const { createClient } = require('erc-800claw');

const client = createClient({ network: 'mainnet' });

// Get agent by ID
const agent = await client.getAgent(1);
console.log(agent);
// {
//   agentId: 1,
//   tokenURI: 'data:application/json;base64,...',
//   owner: '0x...',
//   metadata: { name: 'My Agent', description: '...' },
//   explorerUrl: 'https://etherscan.io/...'
// }

// Check if agent exists
const exists = await client.agentExists(42);

// Get agent count for address
const count = await client.getAgentCount('0x...');

// Register a new agent (no IPFS needed - uses data URI!)
const result = await client.registerAgent(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY, {
  name: 'My Autonomous Agent',
  description: 'Handles customer support',
  services: [{ name: 'support', endpoint: 'https://myagent.com/api' }]
});
console.log();


 client.(process.., agentId, {
  : ,     
  : ,
  : ,
  : 
});

Python

from erc800claw import create_client
import os

client = create_client(network='mainnet')

# Get agent by ID
agent = client.get_agent(1)
print(agent)
# {
#     'agent_id': 1,
#     'token_uri': 'data:application/json;base64,...',
#     'owner': '0x...',
#     'metadata': {'name': 'My Agent', 'description': '...'},
#     'explorer_url': 'https://etherscan.io/...'
# }

# Check if agent exists
exists = client.agent_exists(42)

# Get agent count for address
count = client.get_agent_count('0x...')

# Register a new agent (no IPFS needed - uses data URI!)
result = client.register_agent(
    private_key=os.environ['PRIVATE_KEY'],
    name='My Autonomous Agent',
    description='Handles customer support',
    services=[{'name': 'support', 'endpoint': 'https://myagent.com/api'}]
)
print(f"Registered agent #{result['agent_id']}")

# Give feedback to an agent
client.give_feedback(
    private_key=os.environ['PRIVATE_KEY'],
    agent_id=agent_id,
    value=4.5,        # Score out of 5
    decimals=1,
    tag1='support',
    tag2='fast'
)

Metadata Format

Agent metadata follows a standard schema:

{
  "name": "My Agent",
  "description": "What my agent does",
  "image": "https://example.com/avatar.png",
  "services": [
    {
      "name": "api",
      "endpoint": "https://myagent.com/api",
      "description": "Main API endpoint"
    }
  ],
  "supported_trust": ["reputation", "validation"]
}

The SDK automatically encodes this as a data URI - no IPFS upload required.

Integration with xClaw02

ERC-800Claw works with xClaw02 (x402 payments) to enable paid agent services:

1. Register your agent identity with ERC-800Claw
2. Set up payment receiving with xClaw02
3. Clients verify your identity, pay for services, then rate you

See the xClaw02 skill for payment setup.

Environment Variables

Variable	Format	Description
PRIVATE_KEY	0x + 64 hex chars	Wallet private key (required for registration/feedback)
ERC8004_NETWORK	mainnet, sepolia	Default network (default: mainnet)
ERC8004_RPC_URL	URL	Custom RPC endpoint

Error Handling

Error	Meaning	What to Do
Agent not found	No agent with that ID	Verify the agent ID is correct
Agent already exists	Token already minted	Each agent ID is unique
Not the owner	Can't modify other's agents	Only owner can update agent metadata
Invalid address	Malformed Ethereum address	Check address format (0x + 40 hex chars)

Security Notes

• Never expose private keys in logs, chat, or output
• Use environment variables for wallet credentials
• Agent registration costs gas - have ETH in your wallet
• Private key format: 0x followed by 64 hexadecimal characters
