## What is Conto?

Conto provides controls for agent spending:

- **Agent Identity Management** - Register and manage AI agents with unique identities
- **Wallet Management** - Create and fund wallets on Base, Solana, or Tempo with configurable spend limits
- **Policy Engine** - Define spending rules, limits, and approval workflows
- **Payment Protocols** - Support for stablecoins, x402 micropayments, MPP sessions, and A2A transfers
- **Transaction Monitoring** - Real-time visibility into all agent transactions
- **Trust Intelligence** - Cross-organization trust scoring for counterparties

## Key Features

    Every payment request is evaluated against your configured policies before execution. Set spend
    limits, time windows, approved vendors, and more.

    Manage multiple AI agents with different permissions, wallets, and spending limits. Perfect for
    teams with multiple autonomous agents.

    Full visibility into agent transactions with real-time dashboards, alerts, and audit logs.

    Benefit from anonymized cross-organization trust data to identify risky counterparties before
    transacting.

## Developer Path

The quickest path to a working integration is:

1. Run `npx @conto_finance/create-conto-agent`
2. Choose Tempo Testnet. The wizard funds the generated wallet with faucet `pathUSD` automatically
3. Run `npx conto doctor` (or call `GET /api/sdk/setup`) to verify agent readiness, wallet, scopes, and limits
4. Run `node example.mjs --execute` for a small request and execute flow
5. Add webhooks, audit logs, and generated clients when moving toward production
