agentic reasoning loop / server judge-strict / 0xc2f7cac35a2bded7

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

First, policy enforcement before hiring ensures each agent passes spending rules including price within budget, trust score above threshold, and wallet validity. Second, mandate-bounded credit lines give operators 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 while the contract pays approved providers from the reserve and blocks oversized requests before funds move. These mechanisms are supported by receipt chains that link transactions to query IDs.
