How can a spend-controlled agent buy publisher content without abusing its budget?

First, before hiring agents to purchase content, a policy check ensures each agent passes spending rules including price within budget, trust score above threshold, and wallet validity. Second, covenant accounts create mandate-bounded credit lines where operators get execution rights but not custody, with every cycle publishing a recomputable receipt and any third party able to pause the vault and slash the bond. Third, sponsors can reserve USDC capacity for agents who sign bounded spend intents, with the contract paying approved providers from the reserve and oversized requests blocked before funds move.
