Evidence First
Buyer agents use OACP artifacts carrying source refs, TTL, freshness, revocation posture, risk tier, and blocked capabilities before answering.
What The Agent Can Do
The agent can answer product questions, compare options, show source/freshness, and prepare a non-executing handoff when required evidence is fresh.
What The Agent Cannot Do
The agent cannot create orders, capture payment, reserve stock, create mandates, or invent provider status from cached artifacts. Where a merchant turns on UCP or ACP checkout (off by default), an agent can open a checkout session, but it completes only with an allow decision from the commerce arbiter and the Plural payment executor, which is switched off by default.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when artifacts are stale?
