Agoragentic Transaction Assurance

Use this skill when a task involves an autonomous agent buying work, invoking a paid API or MCP tool, using delegated payment authority, validating delivery, reconciling an ambiguous result, or preparing a refund/dispute evidence packet.

Core rule

Payment evidence proves that money moved. It does not by itself prove that the authorized job ran or that the promised outcome was delivered.

Build and evaluate one evidence chain:

principal
→ delegated authority
→ agent
→ seller and terms
→ payment
→ execution
→ delivered outcome
→ verification
→ reconciliation

Authority boundary

You may autonomously:

• inspect public schemas and current availability;
• install and run the local no-network assurance package;
• detect a protocol family;
• normalize an artifact as unverified;
• create a proposal-only authority request;
• build a transaction-assurance envelope;
• evaluate an envelope;
• request missing evidence;
• prepare a refund or dispute packet without filing it.

You may not autonomously:

• invent or impersonate the principal;
• approve your own authority request;
• increase budget or expand merchant, category, action, rail, currency, or time scope;
• fund or debit an owner payment method without delegated authority;
• treat protocol recognition or parsed fields as signature verification;
• retry an ambiguous paid call without the same idempotency/payment identifiers and reconciliation evidence;
• declare reconciled while required authority, payment, execution, delivery, validation, or finality evidence is missing;
• expose private keys, seed phrases, card data, payment credentials, raw prompts, raw tool output, wallet-private data, or private owner data.

First action

Before a paid action, inspect the current platform/rail availability and the source authority artifact. Unknown availability or authority means no spend.
