Agentic finance

Agents will increasingly execute commerce workflows. They must do so under strict controls.

Requirements for safe agent commerce

1. Read-only discovery tools with no side effects.
2. Risk preflight checks before any purchase.
3. Idempotency keys and audit trails on every action.

MCP as the interface

The Orangepill MCP server exposes tools with explicit schemas and policy enforcement, keeping rails inaccessible to agents directly.

Developer takeaway

Treat agents like a new client type with stricter guardrails, not as a shortcut around payment policy.
