Abstract:

   Agent-authorization mandate formats authorise autonomous agents to
   act on behalf of human principals through cryptographically signed
   constraint instances bound into delegated mandates.  Their existing
   constraint families describe properties of the transaction itself —
   what is being purchased, by whom, for how much, against which
   credential.  They do not describe properties of the environment in
   which the transaction is executed: whether the venue is open, whether
   the source of funds is funded, whether other relevant external
   conditions hold at the moment of execution.

   This document specifies the environment.* constraint family for
   agent-authorization mandate vocabularies.  It is defined against a
   host-binding profile (Section 1.3.1) that the Verifiable Intent (VI)
   mandate format satisfies and that other mandate formats may satisfy;
   VI is used throughout as the reference host.  It defines the
   membership criterion under which a constraint type qualifies as a
   member of the family, the family-wide vocabulary every member uses,
   the composition discipline by which family members compose with each
   other and with constraints from other families, the register
   discipline under which family-wide and per-type prose is written, the
   family-wide security considerations, and the IANA registry mechanics
   under which new family members are registered.  It does not define
   any individual constraint type.  Two reference type specifications
   (environment.market_state and environment.wallet_state) are
   referenced informatively in Appendix A.
