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 and any third party able to pause the vault. Third, a sponsor can reserve Arc USDC for an agent through a bounded spend intent, with the contract paying approved providers from the reserve and oversized requests 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.
