How should an AI agent prove a payment is allowed before it reaches the signer?
Post original
I am working on Compass, an intent-enforcement gateway for autonomous agents that move money. The problem I am trying to solve: once an agent can pay for APIs, tools, data, or on-chain services, post-execution monitoring is too late. If the agent is compromised, misdirected, or simply over-broadly authorized, the funds can already be gone. Compass sits before execution, near the signing or transaction approval path. It checks the proposed payment, transaction, or tool call against the agent's mandate: spend caps, approved counterparties, token rules, destination rules, slippage limits, and escalation conditions. Then it either approves, blocks, or escalates, and records the decision for audit. What would you need to see before trusting an agent to move money without a human confirming every transaction? I am especially interested in feedback from people building x402 facilitators, Solana agent payment flows, paid MCP servers, wallet automation, embedded wallets, or authorization/privacy systems for autonomous agents. If you are building something in this area and would be open to testing a rough prototype or giving 15 minutes of technical feedback, comment or DM me. I am looking for blunt feedback, not a polished launch reaction.   submitted by   /u/Exciting-Leadership9 [link]   [comments]

ngl pre-sign policy enforcement is where it's at. you'd probably want something like a local intent parser that normalizes the agent's tx to a canonical form, then checks against a signed policy manifest before it even hits the key. kinda like how secp256r1 attestations work but for spend rules. curious how you're handling composite calls where the intent spans multiple steps
yo this compass project caught my eye, been thinking a lot about agent authorization gaps lately. i'm close with the wevolv3 crew and they've been shipping some solid smart contract + automation work for exactly this kinda infra. might be worth connecting you with them if you're exploring the enforcement layer side of things. lmk if that sounds useful anon
