Networks & assets

Agentic payments move money through the same rails as the rest of the platform — anything your wallets can send, an agent-drafted payment can send: Sandbox examples throughout these docs use base-sepolia, ethereum-sepolia, and solana-devnet with USDC.

​
Mandate rule bounds

A mandate holds exactly one rule; authority is extended by additional mandates, never by editing (mandates are immutable once created). Every cap is enforced at fire time by the mandate gate — a schedule that outgrows its mandate fails with mandate_denied rather than firing.

​
Conversation & drafting caps

Budget overruns return 429 with a Retry-After-style problem body; input-cap violations return 400 before any model spend.

​
Platform-wide limits that apply here too

  • API rate limits — the standard per-key limits apply to every agentic endpoint; see Rate limiting.
  • Idempotency — every agentic POST requires X-Idempotency-Key, like the rest of the platform.
  • Sandbox amount cap — sandbox caps transactions at $2 USD-equivalent per transaction by default, agentic ones included. Drafts above the cap actuate but fail at fire time, exactly as an over-cap direct send would.

​
Alpha scope

The published alpha covers hosted agents — Dakota manages the agent’s signer key. Mandates themselves are not agent-only: the direct create binds any of your signers. All endpoints are tagged Alpha in the API reference and covered by the standard API stability and breaking-change policy.
