### Description (declared)

Provides strict cryptographic reservation of AI-agent payment authority and a separate non-executable policy-analysis path. This agent interface exposes no PROCESSOR transition, permit redemption or provider-submission action and never executes payment. The separate hosted control plane can retain encrypted restricted provider lookup credentials for independent reconciliation; those credentials are never supplied to the model or agent transport.
