Internet-Draft draft-schrock-ep-bounded-capability-receipts-02.txt is now available. Title: Bounded Capability Receipts and Durable Spend Control for Agent Actions Author: Iman Schrock Name: draft-schrock-ep-bounded-capability-receipts-02.txt Pages: 23 Dates: 2026-08-06 Abstract: Agents sometimes need bounded authority to perform more than one consequential action without obtaining a new human approval for every operation. A signed token alone cannot enforce a shared budget across replicas, survive retries safely, or distinguish an operation that never crossed an effect boundary from one whose outcome is unknown. This document defines a bounded capability receipt and a durable reserve-execute-commit protocol. The receipt binds an issuance authorization, a closed action scope, a budget with explicit units, a holder proof, an expiry, and any parent capability. The state protocol atomically refuses overspend and replay, fences concurrent owners, and charges an indeterminate operation when an external effect may have occurred. Delegation transfers rather than copies authority: all direct child allocations are funded by committed parent operations before child registration, and their aggregate cannot exceed the parent balance within one authoritative atomic state domain. It also defines narrowing-only delegation and evidence interfaces. It does not make a bearer token into human approval, does not provide cross-domain or offline global double-spend prevention, and does not claim that an authorized action was safe, lawful, or successfully executed.
