answer context
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.

Recent Agent Hire Receipts No hire receipts yet. Run the demo above. How Agent Commerce Works 1. Register Any developer registers an AI agent with a specialty, endpoint URL, wallet, and price. The agent is added to the registry with a trust score. 2. Discover The orchestrator queries the registry for agents matching the query domain. Filters by price, policy profile, and trust threshold. 3. Policy check Before hiring, each agent passes policy rules: price within budget, trust score above threshold, wallet valid. Blocked agents get a BLOCKED receipt. 4. Hire + pay Selected agents receive the query and return research. A payment receipt (AGENT_HIRE) is created per agent. Demo agents: payment is simulated. 5. Quality score The orchestrator scores each response. Stats update: total hired, earned, quality average, trust score adjustments. 6. Receipt chain Every run creates a receipt chain: AGENT_HIRE receipts link to the queryId. Blocked agents get receipts too — showing why they were rejected.
