cpbox-answers（cpbox 答案）

Answers — AI Grounding

Paid Answers proxy via x402 pay-per-use (HTTP 402).

Prerequisites: This skill requires x402-payment. Complete the setup steps before first use.

Service URLs

Endpoint (Agent Interface)

POST /api/x402/answers

Payment Flow (x402 Protocol)

1. First request (no PAYMENT-SIGNATURE) -> 402 Payment Required with requirements JSON
2. Client signs (EIP-712) -> PAYMENT-SIGNATURE
3. Retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE -> Server settles and returns response

With @springmint/x402-payment or x402-sdk-go, payment is automatic.

When to Use

| Use Case | Skill | Why | |--|--|--| | Quick factual answer (raw context) | llm-context | Single search, returns raw context for YOUR LLM | | Fast AI answer with citations | answers (single-search) | streaming, citations | | Thorough multi-search deep research | answers (research mode) | Iterative deep research, synthesized cited answer |

This endpoint (/res/v1/chat/completions) supports two modes:

• Single-search (default): Fast AI-grounded answer from a single search. Supports enable_citations.
• Research (enable_research=true): Multi-iteration deep research with progress events and synthesized cited answer.

Using with x402-payment

CLI (AI Agent)

npx @springmint/x402-payment \

| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |--|--|--|--|--| | enable_research | bool | No | false | Enable research mode | | research_allow_thinking | bool | No | true | Enable extended thinking | | research_maximum_number_of_tokens_per_query | int | No | 8192 | Max tokens per query (1024-16384) | | research_maximum_number_of_queries | int | No | 20 | Max total search queries (1-50) | | research_maximum_number_of_iterations | int | No | 4 | Max research iterations (1-5) | | research_maximum_number_of_seconds | int | No | 180 | Time budget in seconds (1-300) | | research_maximum_number_of_results_per_query | int | No | 60 | Results per search query (1-60) |

Constraints (IMPORTANT)

| Constraint | Error | |--|--| | enable_research=true requires stream=true | "Blocking response doesn't support 'enable_research' option" | | enable_research=true incompatible with enable_citations=true | "Research mode doesn't support 'enable_citations' option" | | enable_citations=true requires stream=true | "Blocking response doesn't support 'enable_citations' option" |

Notes for Agent Usage

• Use x402-payment to handle the payment handshake automatically, especially for streaming (stream=true).

Response Format

Blocking Response (stream=false, single-search only)

Standard OpenAI-compatible JSON:

{
  "id": "chatcmpl-...",
  "object": "chat.completion",
  "choices": [{"message": {"role": "assistant", "content": "The James Webb Space Telescope works by..."}, "index": 0, "finish_reason": "stop"}],
  "usage": {"prompt_tokens": 10, "completion_tokens": 50, "total_tokens": 60}
}

Streaming Response

SSE response with OpenAI-compatible chunks:

data: {"id":"chatcmpl-...","object":"chat.completion.chunk","choices":[{"delta":{"content":"Based on"},"index":0}]}

data: {"id":"chatcmpl-...","object":"chat.completion.chunk","choices":[{"delta":{"content":" recent research"},"index":0}]}

data: [DONE]

Streaming Tags by Mode

Single-Search (with enable_citations=true)

| Tag | Purpose | |--|--| | <citation> | Inline citation references | | <usage> | JSON cost/billing data |

Research Mode

| Tag | Purpose | Keep? | |--|--|--| | <queries> | Generated search queries | Debug | | <analyzing> | URL counts (verbose) | Debug | | <thinking> | URL selection reasoning | Debug | | <progress> | Stats: time, iterations, queries, URLs analyzed, tokens | Monitor | | <blindspots> | Knowledge gaps identified | Yes | | <answer> | Final synthesized answer (only the final answer is emitted; intermediate drafts are dropped) | Yes | | <usage> | JSON cost/billing data (included at end of streaming response) | Yes |

Usage Tag Format

The <usage> tag contains JSON-stringified cost and token data:

<usage>{"X-Request-Requests":1,"X-Request-Queries":8,"X-Request-Tokens-In":15000,"X-Request-Tokens-Out":2000,"X-Request-Requests-Cost":0.005,"X-Request-Queries-Cost":0.032,"X-Request-Tokens-In-Cost":0.075,"X-Request-Tokens-Out-Cost":0.01,"X-Request-Total-Cost":0.122}</usage>

Use Cases

• Chat interface integration: Use this endpoint to get a web-grounded answer payload in OpenAI-compatible format.
• Deep research / comprehensive topic research: Use research mode (enable_research=true) for complex questions needing multi-source synthesis (e.g., "Compare approaches to nuclear fusion").
• OpenAI SDK drop-in: Same SDK, same streaming format — just change base_url and api_key. Works with both sync and async clients.
• Cited answers: Enable enable_citations=true in single-search mode for inline citation tags, or use research mode which automatically includes citations in its answer.

Notes

• Timeout: Set client timeout to at least 30s for single-search, 300s (5 min) for research
• Single message: The messages array must contain exactly 1 user message
• Cost monitoring: Parse the <usage> tag from streaming responses to track costs
