Grant a short-lived, Ed25519-signed LEASE authorizing an agent to perform an action until it expires. A customer-run gateway verifies the lease offline (fail-closed) before letting the action through. This is the guard on a money/data-moving action. Free tier: 1 active lease (guarded agent). Security-sensitive: grants authority. Keep this account key outside the controlled agent. A signed lim string is enforced only by the customer's gateway.
Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| vigil_key | string | no | DEPRECATED legacy account-wide credential, including deletion and permission issuance. Prefer the client-injected HTTP Authorization: Bearer header; omit this argument when that header authenticates the request. This is not a scoped agent token. |
| agent | string | yes | Identifier for the agent being authorized (1-128 chars). |
| action | string | yes | The action class this lease authorizes, e.g. 'stripe.refund' (1-128 chars). |
| ttl_s | integer | yes | Lease lifetime in seconds, 5..604800. Keep it short; renew to extend. |
| lim | string | no | Optional limit string the gateway enforces, e.g. 'amount<=50usd'. |
