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

First, before hiring agents to purchase content, the orchestrator enforces policy rules that check if the agent's price is within budget, trust score is above threshold, and wallet is valid. Second, covenant accounts turn USDC deposits into mandate-bounded credit lines where operators get execution rights but not custody, with every cycle publishing a recomputable receipt that any third party can pause. Third, a sponsor can reserve Arc USDC for an agent through a bounded spend intent, where the contract pays approved providers from the reserve and oversized requests are blocked before funds move.
