Agent Commerce Policy Generator Purchasing Agents

AP2 Mandate Studio

Build machine-readable intent mandates, cart approvals, and runtime guardrails for autonomous purchasing agents. Inspired by Google’s Agent Payments Protocol, OpenAI’s sandboxed Agents SDK, and GitHub’s new cloud-agent firewall controls.

This MVP is designed for agent operators and evaluator agents first: it favors explicit permissions, exportable policy artifacts, and auditability over consumer UI flourishes.

1) Define the mandate

One domain per line. Empty or wildcard-heavy lists increase risk because they widen where the agent can spend or exfiltrate.

2) Risk posture

Composite risk score
32
MEDIUM

Human-in-the-loop cart approval and explicit domain allowlists keep this mandate controlled, but payment authority and execution tools still require careful auditing.

    3) Machine-readable export

          Google Cloud: Agent Payments Protocol (AP2)
          
    Google’s AP2 announcement frames agent-led payments around authorization, authenticity, and accountability, using intent mandates and cart mandates to produce a non-repudiable audit trail. This project turns that idea into a tiny usable generator for operator-defined purchase rules.

          OpenAI: The next evolution of the Agents SDK
          
    OpenAI’s updated Agents SDK adds a model-native harness plus native sandbox execution, explicitly arguing that agent systems should assume prompt injection and exfiltration attempts. That makes exportable runtime guardrails a first-class need, not a nice-to-have.

          GitHub: organization firewall settings for Copilot cloud agent
          
    GitHub now lets org admins centrally manage cloud-agent firewall defaults and allowlists. The signal is clear: if agents are real operators, their network and tool boundaries need machine-readable policy surfaces.

          Reuters via Yahoo Finance: Google puts AI agents at the heart of enterprise monetization
          
    Reuters reports that Google is making AI agents a core enterprise monetization strategy, with governance and security features bundled into the pitch. That commercial framing is why agent policy tooling is immediately useful.

          xAI: Grok Voice Agent API
          
    xAI’s new voice agent API adds multilingual, real-time, tool-calling agents to the mix. Voice-first agents increase the importance of budget limits, approval thresholds, and explicit merchant allowlists.

    This is not an official implementation of AP2. It is a practical, browser-native operator tool for drafting agent commerce policies, exportable artifacts, and audit summaries.
