AI agents can now pay per request (x402, Stripe MPP). spendctl decides whether they may: per-agent budgets, allowlists, human approvals and a receipt ledger, enforced in a sidecar you run, in front of the wallets you already have.

Partial A proxy that enforces budgets, allowlists, approvals, and receipts is buildable with AI help, but correct, secure handling of payment protocols and wallets for real money requires payments and security expertise.
What it would actually take: Architect a sidecar proxy (Go, Rust, or Node) that sits in front of agent wallets, with a policy engine, an append-only ledger, and an approval workflow. The hard parts are integrating x402 and Stripe machine payments correctly and making enforcement tamper-resistant, which requires payments and security engineers. Testing against real money flows is needed before production.
