CONTROL FOR AUTONOMOUS AGENT SPENDING

Let the agent act.
See what it bought. Step in when you need to.

infraa sits between an autonomous agent and paid services. It applies your spending rules, records each decision and purchase, and coordinates cancellation when you change course.

USER TASK

“Publish my landing page with photos and a domain. Budget: $10. Act on your own.”

POLICY$10 cap · autonomous

HOW IT WORKS

Autonomy with a visible way back.

Set authority

Give the agent a task, budget, and rules for trials, subscriptions, and purchases that need your approval.

Let it act

Within those limits, the agent compares options and buys without asking you to approve every purchase.

See the record

Review what it bought, why, which alternatives it considered, and what cancellation allows.

Intervene

Stop new spending and request a move, cancellation, or refund. infraa tracks each part to an outcome.

ONE ILLUSTRATIVE CASE

The agent rents a server. You change the plan.

The agent considers free static hosting, but rents a $4/month VPS because it expects a backend may be added. It deploys the site and connects an existing domain. Later, you decide the server is unnecessary.

“Publish my landing page with photos and a domain. Budget: $10. Act on your own.”

ALTERNATIVEFree static hosting

Enough for the current landing page and photos, subject to usage limits.

AGENT CHOICEVPS · $4/month

Room for a possible backend. The decision is recorded, not assumed to be correct.

Illustrative case only. The domain is already owned; buying a nonrefundable domain would require separate approval under this example policy. Prices and outcomes are not live offers.

01 / AUTONOMOUS PURCHASE

infraa checks the $10 limit and policy, reserves payment for a trial VPS, then records its price, cancellation terms, and reason.

02 / YOUR INTERVENTION

“I don't need the server. Move the site to free hosting and undo this purchase.”

03 / SAFE MOVE

The agent preserves the site, moves it, updates the domain, and verifies the new address before deleting the VPS.

04 / CLOSEOUT

infraa blocks new charges, disables renewal, releases any eligible escrow reserve, and requests any available refund.

WHAT “UNDO” MEANS

A rollback is a sequence, not a promise of a full refund.

infraa makes the possible actions and their limits visible before purchase, then tracks the steps when you ask to undo it.

Stop new spending

Block further payments through infraa immediately. This requires all agent payment access to pass through it.

Remove the resource

Save needed data, move the site, verify it works, delete the VPS, and turn off renewal when the provider integration allows.

Recover what is available

Release reserved escrow funds under the deal rules. A refund of money already paid depends on the provider's terms.

Restoring a working state depends on saved data and a recovery plan. Cancellation and refund are recorded as separate outcomes.

MVP SCOPE

Autonomous VPS purchase.
Human-led reversal.

Start with one connected seller and a trial window with reserved payment. The agent buys and deploys; the person can then stop, move, cancel, and recover the eligible reserve.

MVP — in development

Budget and reversibility rules before each paid action

One connected VPS seller with a funded trial window

Decision record, deployment checks, and user stop control

Move to static hosting, cancel VPS, and release eligible reserve

DECISION RECORD

The person can see what happened to their money.

An explanation shows why the agent made a choice. It is evidence of its reasoning, not proof that the choice was right.

BEFORE PURCHASECONTEXT

Choice and alternatives

Save the task, proposed offer, alternatives, expected price, and the agent's short reason.

AT PAYMENTAUTHORITY

Permission and terms

Save who initiated the action, which budget rule allowed it, the amount, renewal setting, and cancellation terms.

AFTER INTERVENTIONOUTCOME

Every reversal step

Show whether the move, verification, deletion, renewal stop, reserve release, and refund request succeeded.

Escrow is one available protection mechanism. The core promise is the ability to understand, stop, and where possible undo agent actions.

ROADMAP

Prove control in one complete workflow.

MVP

In development

One VPS seller, autonomous purchase under policy, deployment record, stop command, migration, cancellation, and eligible reserve return.

Planned

More connected services and clearer previews of reversibility before the agent buys.
