@vantic/sdk
Advanced tools
Vantic — a spending firewall and permission layer for AI agents: signed mandates, allowlists, and tamper-proof receipts for every money-moving action.
Signed mandates and receipt chains for autonomous agent transactions — and a client-side spending firewall so your agent can't be prompt-injected into paying an attacker.
Zero runtime dependencies (Node ≥ 18 built-in crypto). Ed25519 + SHA-256 + canonical JSON,
with did:key/did:web identity and W3C Verifiable Credentials for the sponsor chain.
npm install @vantic/sdk
import { generateKeyPair, issueMandate, AgentWallet } from "@vantic/sdk";
const principal = generateKeyPair();
const agent = generateKeyPair();
const mandate = issueMandate({
agent: agent.publicKey,
principal: principal.publicKey,
principalPrivateKeyPem: principal.privateKeyPem,
ttlSeconds: 7 * 24 * 3600,
scope: {
budget: { currency: "USD", amount: 50000, windowSeconds: 7 * 24 * 3600 }, // $500 / 7d
maxPerTransaction: 20000,
allowedActions: ["purchase"],
allowedCounterparties: ["etsy.com", "*.shop.example"],
},
});
// Wrap your agent's spend calls. A blocked action throws BEFORE any money moves.
const wallet = new AgentWallet(mandate, agent.privateKeyPem);
await wallet.spend(
{ type: "purchase", counterparty: "etsy.com", amount: 4500, currency: "USD" },
async (a) => ({ outcome: "settled", result: await pay(a) }),
);
Also ships as an MCP server (npx vantic-mcp) exposing stateless verification tools.
