answer context
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.

Hand over a private key and the operator runs everything. Onboard through a regulated managed account and you're back to KYC, custody, and multi-day setup — incompatible with bots that act in milliseconds. Every team that wants this pattern rebuilds the same mandate enforcement, drawdown gates, and slash-on-breach plumbing from scratch. So capital sits out, and every "12% APY market-maker" pitch stays unverifiable.
