Who stops an injected agent from paying an attacker?
The owner writes the spending mandate. The compiler rejects unsupported requests; the NEAR Guard checks signed quote terms against the stored rules.
How can an agent request a payment within its owner's budget?
A payment program references an owner mandate with recipient and asset allowlists, per-payment and daily caps, approval thresholds, fees, slippage and expiry.
What cross-chain transfer can a judge verify?
An .x3 program specified a Base Sepolia to NEAR testnet transfer. Its source hash was registered on Guard before the source transfer.
