EVIDENCE

Decision receipts

A durable record of what was checked before execution.

Receipt anatomy

A receipt includes request ID, policy ID and version, normalized intent hash, checks, final decision, timestamp, and optional settlement reference.

Verify that the receipt decision matches the signed envelope and that policy and request identifiers are the expected values.

{
  "request_id": "req_01JX9",
  "policy": "research-agent-v3",
  "decision": "allow",
  "checks": ["budget", "merchant", "network"]
}

Choose retention based on your legal and operational needs. Encrypt sensitive metadata and keep payment credentials out of receipt payloads.
