What you get

Inside the Agent Charter

Most formation services hand you a boilerplate operating agreement. An autonomous agent needs more: documents that prove its authority to third parties, contain its liability, and constrain it at runtime. Here's the full 12-document suite (16 with a US subsidiary) — and what each one actually does.

Why documents, not just a company

A company limits liability. But an autonomous company has two extra problems a standard LLC kit never solves: (1) how does a bank or counterparty know the agent is authorized to sign? and (2) how do you keep the agent inside its limits when no human is watching? The Agent Charter answers both — on paper for humans, and in JSON for the agent.

The core suite (always included)

Articles of Organization (Nevis LLC)The formation charter filed to create the company.

Operating AgreementGoverns the company, with agent-delegation clauses built in.

Agent Mandate & Authority CharterThe flagship: powers, wallet authority, per-tx/daily spending limits, risk limits, kill-switch, liability allocation, succession.

Authority Resolution & Limited Power of AttorneyProves to any bank or counterparty that the agent is authorized to act for the company.

Wallet Authority ScheduleBinds the on-chain wallets to the legal entity; supports an on-chain attestation.

Register of Members & ManagersThe statutory register (Ordinance s.67A), held privately by the registered agent.

Written Resolutions of the MembersOrganizational resolutions: adopt the OA, appoint managers, engage the agent, open accounts.

Beneficial Ownership DeclarationKYC/AML record of the human owners (the agent is never an owner).

Consent to Act as ManagerSigned by each human manager supervising the agent.

Risk, AML & Compliance PolicySanctions posture, licensing perimeter, financial controls, escalation.

Indemnification AgreementCompany indemnity (from company assets only) for managers and agent operators.

Machine-Readable Mandate (JSON)The runtime file your agent loads to enforce its own limits in code.

The machine-readable mandate is the part nobody else has. It mirrors the legal Agent Mandate as JSON — name, powers, wallets, spending limits, prohibited actions, override holders, kill-switch — so the agent can read and obey its own legal limits at runtime. Law and code, from one source of truth.
