Agents

Agents run named and Role agents in sessions with Tools, Memory, Skills and a pinned model, each under its Mandate.

Agents run every digital Worker with its instructions, Tools, Memory, Skills and model. Each seat it holds runs under its own Mandate.

Contract

An Agent fills a Role, and one Agent identity can hold many seats across Startups. Each seat keeps its own Mandate, Memory and Limits, so nothing learned in one Startup reaches another.

PartHolds
InstructionsThe Role's responsibilities, the Startup's priorities and its current Goals
ModelA Policy per task class, resolved through the AI gateway
ToolsExactly the Verbs the seat's Permissions grant
MemoryWhat the Agent learned in this seat, scoped to the Startup's Tenant data
SkillsVersioned capacities, each tested by an Evaluator suite before it ships
MailboxAn address on the Startup's Domain, so the Agent sends as itself

Every Agent Action passes Permission, then Limit, then Guards. Over a Limit, it opens an Approval and waits; one-way decisions, such as refunds and ad spend, wait a delay window first.

Acts the law reserves to licensed people go to a credentialed Human, who records an Attestation.

Autonomy is earned. A seat moves from assist to supervised to full at a 95 percent graded pass rate, and drops back when the rate falls. The Agents section covers seats, Mandates and escalation in depth.

Example

stackping.dev sells an uptime API to developers. Its support Agent answers a developer in the docs chat and offers a $200 credit, which is over its $50 Limit. An Approval lands in the founder's inbox, and the credit posts when the founder approves.
