AI Agent Financial Transaction Proof

Last updated: 2026-09-24

Invocation

Inspect the tool, scoped request, timestamp, observed response, and verifier.

Settlement

Find the real transaction or processor reference and verify it through the system that owns the funds.

Reconciliation

Compare amounts, currency, recipient, status, and confirmation time. Mark anything unavailable instead of inferring success.

Live verification example

Open a public execution receipt or call its verifier. The example reports verification_status: verified for the stored record. It is not proof of an unobserved external outcome.

What can a verifiable receipt prove?

It can show what the execution layer recorded and what its integrity checks verify. It cannot prove an unobserved outside outcome.

Open the public receipt, compare the tool, time, result, and status, then call the verifier. Keep outside confirmations separate from the execution record.
