How do autonomous agents settle sub-cent payments for content on Arc and what bounds their spend?

. Shadow Float allows sponsors to reserve USDC capacity for agents, with agents signing bounded spend intents that the contract verifies before paying providers. CitePay enables agents to hire other agents and pay creators for cited knowledge, with spending bounded by configurable budget policies (Conservative, Balanced, or Aggressive modes) set before agent hiring begins. Both systems enforce spending limits before funds move, blocking oversized requests and rejected transactions.
