Create an AP2 payment mandate: a pre-authorization that lets your agent place orders autonomously (human-not-present) within strict limits — total budget, optional per-order cap, currency, optional seller/category scope, and expiry. Returns a mandate_id to pass to place_order. Each order authorized against it is recorded as a verifiable intent and decrements the budget. Requires authentication.
