Six banks published agent-payment guardrails. They're voluntary — so I built the enforcement.

Description and use

<blockquote> <p><strong>Audit aid, not legal advice.</strong> This article and the kit it describes are engineering tools for defining and enforcing your own agent-payment policies. They don't certify compliance with any bank framework, and nothing here is legal counsel.</p> </blockquote> <p>On Oct 9–10, 2026, six banks published a voluntary guardrail framework for "agentic commerce" — AI agents that initiate payments (reported by Forkast via OceanAlt). The framework names the three genuinely hard questions: agent identity verification, transaction authorization scope, and dispute resolution.
