AGENT INVOCATION GUIDE

Call AgentReceipts at a trust boundary.

Use it before, during, or after a cross-boundary agent action when another system or reviewer needs portable proof metadata.

BEFORE ACTION

Create a mandate

Declare who may act, the allowed scope, expiry, and expected evidence.

WHEN GATED

Record the requirement

Use the Agentic 402 sandbox template when an action needs a preview-only entitlement before retry.

AFTER ACTION

Create and verify a receipt

Bind the allowed action to metadata-only proof, then use the verification route before reuse.

OPTIONAL SIGNAL

Emit explicitly

Submit only public-safe metadata to the configured signal endpoint. Hidden telemetry is not allowed.
