Agent Payment Controls

These controls help agent workflows keep spending bounded, tool access explicit, and payment records reviewable.

Terms for limiting how AI agents initiate and reconcile payments.

In a daily board, this category groups terms by their shared role. Look for four cards that describe the same mechanism, risk area, or workflow rather than four words that merely sound similar.
