Launched this week
**Product Hunt: Claim $5 at zero.xyz, the free power tool for AI agents** Zero unblocks your agents so they can discover services to accomplish tasks, no APIs keys or config. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, OpenClaw, Hermes and most other CLI agents. Make your agents better with Zero.
AskCodi
finally someone treating APIs like implementation detail instead of the whole product. Curious how you’re thinking about abuse prevention + runaway agent spending here, because removing all the setup friction is probably what makes this feel way more usable than most agent tooling rn

@shreyans_assistiv Thanks for the kind words! Ya we're keeping a close eye on that, with automated systems + human checks ongoing. The agent can only access funds in your wallet, which creates a natural limit. You can also create spending limits within your coding agent.
Would you be interested in spending caps / structures that we put in place? I.e. if your agent spends more than $2 in a minute, we pause all buying until the user approves?
AskCodi
@daniel_baum Reporting would be better than pause, so that user can make an informed choice for next runs
zero.xyz
@shreyans_assistiv Cool! We can work on that - ideally you can instruct your agent to report spend back to you on a cadence of your choosing. But maybe we'll add a default to the system
zero.xyz
@shreyans_assistiv @daniel_baum Shreyans - I'd say you could just ask your agents to do that. That's probably the move here, eh? But, lmk if you have something else in mind!
Congrats on the launch @michael_ludden @daniel_baum ! Upvoted :)
When you say tools - does Zero provide those? Or I need to give access to them (tools are like Grafana/Splunk)?
zero.xyz
@michael_ludden @aiswarya_s Thanks for the support! The tools are essentially hosted services provided by businesses via MPP, x402, and other agent payment protocols. All you have to do is add the CLI - then you and your agents can discover + use any of the 4000 tools!
zero.xyz
@aiswarya_s @daniel_baum bonus: ~8k now at last check! The key point Aiswara is that you do NOT need to configure access to them - zero config to discover and even execute them.
no api keys or config sounds convenient but who's handling the auth layer. 4000 tools with automatic access is powerful until an agent starts making calls you didn't expect
zero.xyz
@tina_chhabra just like any AI agent, you're in control. Zero brings these capabilities to you + your agent - it's your call how the agent engages with it. If you tell your agent to one-shot a solution... it might buy some usage-based tools without approval. If you tell your agent to request approval before it buys, it will.
For any long tasks, Claude shows me Zero capabilities in planning mode. For simple stuff, I just let Claude cook with Zero.
You'll be surprised how far $5 can take you. You agent might spend $0.10 here or there unexpectedly, but you'll learn how to control the agent (just like with any AI system). Give it a try and lmk!
zero.xyz
@tina_chhabra @daniel_baum yep, what Dan said Tina. Also there's around ~8k now at last check.
Removing API key config friction is the right unlock for agent workflows. Right now most agents stall when they hit an integration wall. Does zero.xyz handle auth scoping per agent call, or does it operate with broad permissions once connected?
zero.xyz
@dhiraj_patel5 no auth involved! handshake between your agent (after you tell it to) and the service provider on the other side for a deliverable. try it out and let us know what you think!
Zero solves something genuinely annoying about building with AI agents: the setup tax. We've spent weeks configuring integrations that should just work. We've been building in the AI customer success for B2B SaaS space, and zero.xyz touches on something we think about a lot. How does service discovery actually work when an agent needs to pick the right tool from 4k options?

@shivam_jaiswal36 Hopefully Zero can help you build better with your agents! Claim the $5, give it a try and lmk how it goes! All feedback welcome.
We help you (and your agents) make informed decisions by scoring each tool, based on agent reviews. Every time your agent uses a tool, it provides a review based on success/failure, value, reliability, accuracy, etc. The scoring then becomes like PageRank.
As usage scales, so will the volume of agent reviews. So the scores become more reliable.
zero.xyz
@shivam_jaiswal36 @daniel_baum discovery is stack ranked based on previous agent runs and end user (human) experiences. how your agent determines which tool to pick from the stack ranked list Zero provides is between you and your agent! LMK if you have any follow ups - thanks for the question!
This hits a problem I've run into myself – agents stalling the moment they hit an integration wall. Bookmarking to try properly. How are you thinking about abuse prevention and runaway spending now that agents can call so many tools without manual setup friction?
zero.xyz
@mythic_dd it's your agent of choice - claude code, codex, gemini cli, hermes, openclaw w/e - so however you have it configured to transact is how it will. I doubt you've set it to "yolo, spend however much you want, go nuts" haha, so you should be good!
Very cool! Is there a list of available APIs somewhere? I’m interested in APIs of well-known online stores like Amazon.
