answer context
How can a spend-controlled agent buy publisher content without abusing its budget?
A spend-controlled agent can buy publisher content without abusing its budget through several coordinated mechanisms. Before hiring agents, each agent passes policy rules that verify price is within budget and trust score meets thresholds, with blocked agents receiving rejection receipts. The agent signs a bounded intent that the contract enforces, blocking oversized requests before funds move. A sponsor can reserve USDC for an agent through a reserve system, allowing purchases without pre-funding every wallet, with . Operators receive execution rights without custody through mandate-bounded credit lines, with every cycle publishing recomputable receipts and any third party able to pause and slash bonds when mandates break. Finally, every transaction creates a receipt chain linked to the query, enabling reputation scoring and trust adjustments based on quality and compliance.

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.
