Available tools 11

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

policy

get_policy

View the active signed payment policy for an owner (and optionally an agent scope)

get_policy_versions

View a user's policy version history (version chain + hashes, verifiable against on-chain commitments)

list_policy_requests

List pending agent policy-change requests

set_policy

[USER ONLY] Submit a new policy version. Must carry the user's wallet EIP-191 signature over the policy document; accepted only after signature + version-chain checks pass. Agents MUST NOT call this tool.

audit

get_audit_trail

View recent payment-approval audit records for an owner

evaluate

evaluate_payment

Evaluate a payment intent. MUST be called before executing any payment. ALLOW = you may pay; DENY = you must abandon; ASK = a challenge is returned — relay the reason to the user, then retry with approval_token once the user signs. An optional mandate parameter carries a user-issued single-task authorization.

render

render_template

Render a natural-language rule from a template + parameters (then compile, sign & publish)

request

request_policy_change

[For agents] Ask the user for a policy/budget change (e.g. 'raise daily budget from 50 to 80'). The request is queued for user approval; the user signs and publishes a new policy version. Agents can NEVER change policy directly.

revoke

revoke_policy

[USER ONLY] Revoke a policy chain (takes effect immediately; subsequent payments default to DENY). Must carry the user's wallet signature over the revocation statement.

spend

get_spend_report

View today's spend summary for an owner

templates

list_templates

List policy templates (personal assistant / travel / dev API / procurement)
