Proxy cards let you isolate spend per agent or workflow, enforce strict controls, and keep every payment tied to an auditable intent trail.
Issue a card per agent, task, or team so failures are contained and spend ownership is clear.
Set hard amount caps, merchant restrictions, MCC rules, and velocity limits before transactions are attempted.
Keep cards locked by default and reveal sensitive credentials only when intent and policy checks pass.
Link card actions and transactions to intent, approval, and policy outcome for operations and compliance.
Create intent, evaluate policy, issue card access, and verify outcomes with complete evidence logs.
Set strict per-transaction, daily, or monthly limits so agent spend stays inside explicit boundaries.
Allow or block specific merchants so cards cannot drift into unknown destinations.
Block risky categories at authorization time and reduce misuse paths before spend lands.
Limit transaction frequency to prevent retry loops and runaway autonomous behavior.
Auto-approve low-risk spend and route high-risk intent to human review.
Persist intent, approval, card, and transaction links so every charge can be explained quickly.
Start with intent and policy, then reveal credentials only when the transaction is approved.
