SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires @circle-fin/cli.

What problem does it solve? AI agents often hit blockers like paywalls, missing API keys, or rate limits when trying to access paid services or perform onchain actions. This Skill provides a single entry point to the Circle CLI, letting an agent manage wallets, move USDC across chains, and pay for APIs with stablecoins without accounts or prefunded billing. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Wallet & Identity Management: Create and authenticate Circle-managed agent wallets, check balances, transfer USDC, and configure spending limits via circle wallet commands. - Cross-Chain & Paid Services: Bridge USDC via CCTP, deposit into Gateway for nanopayments, and search or pay x402 marketplace APIs with circle bridge, circle gateway, and circle services. - Use Case: An agent needs live data from a paid API but has no API key. It runs circle services search to find the endpoint, inspects pricing, and pays per request in USDC using circle services pay — no signup required. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to check your USDC balance or search Circle's paid API marketplace using the Circle CLI, and it will run the appropriate circle command with --help guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions about use-circle-cli

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I pay for an API with USDC using the Circle CLI?▼

Use `circle services search` to find a paid endpoint in the x402 marketplace, then `circle services inspect` to check pricing and supported chains, and finally `circle services pay` to make the request with automatic USDC payment. No API key or account signup is required.

How do I bridge USDC to another blockchain from the command line?▼

Run `circle bridge transfer` with the `--chain` flag to move USDC across chains via CCTP. Transfers take roughly 8-20 seconds on fast chains, and you can track progress with `circle bridge status`.

Can an AI agent create a Circle wallet without manual login?▼

Yes, `circle wallet login` supports a two-step `--init` and `--otp` flow designed for non-interactive agents, using email plus OTP authentication. The agent must never guess the user's email or accept Terms of Use without explicit consent.

Does the Circle CLI support testnet for agent wallets?▼

The agent wallet flow defaults to mainnet unless the user explicitly requests testnet. Spending policy features such as `circle wallet limit` are mainnet-only.

What should I do when a Circle CLI command fails unexpectedly?▼

First run `<command> --help` since help text reflects the installed version and is authoritative. If the CLI itself errors or behaves confusingly, file a report with `circle feedback submit --category BUG`, which requires an active mainnet session.
