LAST-MILE AUTHORITY BINDING

The boundary between signed approval and the provider call.

MandateShield carries supported signed final approval into the exact provider request, reserves budget, requires one fresh online permit claim and signs a terminal outcome checked against configured evidence without trusting the caller.

01User mandate

Per-attempt and cumulative amount, scope and expiry.

02AI agent

Finds an offer and prepares the final purchase facts.

03MandateShield

Verifies signed authority and atomically reserves budget headroom.

04Execution edge

Binds the provider request and freshly redeems one permit. The exclusive executor makes one idempotent operation; MandateShield then checks the supported outcome without trusting its report.

HTTP API

A strict production boundary with registered policy, cumulative budgets and durable reservations.

POST /api/v2/verify

Processor API

An audience-bound gateway binds the exact provider operation and obtains a short permit that still requires one fresh online redemption.

POST /api/v2/execution-authorizations

MCP tool

A discoverable analysis, projection and VERIFY-scoped strict-reservation surface. It cannot consume, redeem or submit a payment.

POST /api/mcp

A2A agent

A public authority-check and strict-reservation agent card. It does not expose processor, redemption or payment-submission authority.

/.well-known/agent-card.json

Open contract

Stable schemas, reason codes and receipts give ecosystems one shared boundary to implement.

/standard

AVAILABLE

Verify

Deterministically evaluate the exact proposed action. This does not control whether a caller later executes it.

AVAILABLE

Reserve

Atomically reserve cumulative budget and issue a short execution authorization. A reservation never grants permission to call a provider.

DEPLOYMENT-EARNED

Gate

Provider-bound CONSUME prepares one durable submission and signed permit while submission remains forbidden. A separate execution edge must freshly redeem the exact permit online before one operation. Current provider adoption is not claimed.

PROVIDER-SPECIFIC

Reconcile

Treat caller reports as hints, inspect a configured Stripe PaymentIntent or canonical x402 chain outcome without trusting that report, then commit, release or keep authority reserved.

AVAILABLE · FIRST-PARTY

Evidence

Verify signed receipts, retained key rotation, release hashes and bounded model results. This is not an independent audit.

SUPPORTED EXECUTION BOUNDARY

Integrate without pretending to replace the payment stack.

Credentials stay with the existing provider. MandateShield receives only normalized authority facts and produces a portable signed reservation. A separate PROCESSOR key is bound to the gateway's exact audience and transitions that reservation with an exact provider binding. The transition prepares a durable submission and signs a short permit but does not unlock payment. A separate execution edge must freshly redeem the exact permit and request binding online; only the first non-replayed claim grants MandateShield authority. The customer-side Gate must then perform one idempotent operation through a configured provider adapter and report its observation. MandateShield checks supported configured Stripe or x402 outcomes without trusting that observation before finalizing. The hosted service does not require payment credentials, customers must not submit them, and the hosted service does not submit the payment.

START AT THE EXECUTION POINT

Make fresh, exact permit redemption the mandatory payment unlock.
