# Glossary

> Every public Sumvin term, defined by what it does.

## Terms

### Agent

Software that acts for you, such as Claude or ChatGPT.

### Agent identity

One connection's own identity under your Sigil. Every connection gets one. You can disconnect each one on its own. See [Agent identities](/concepts/agent-identities).

### Approval page

The Sumvin page where you read and sign a Stamped Mandate or approve a purchase. It opens in your own browser, and you approve there with your passkey. Your agent can give you the link; it can't approve there.

### CLI

The `sumvin` command-line tool, for developers building and experimenting on Sumvin. The connector is the recommended way to use Sumvin. See [Install the CLI](/get-started/cli/install).

### Coming soon

Not available yet, including in this preview. Payments are coming soon, in a fast-follow release. One of the three status labels in these docs.

### Connector

Sumvin added to an AI assistant, such as Claude or ChatGPT. The recommended way to use Sumvin. See [Connect your agent](/get-started/connect).

### Counterparty

Anyone your agent deals with: a merchant, a service or another agent. A counterparty can check a Stamped Mandate your agent presents.

### Disconnect

Stop honouring one agent identity. Your other agents and your Sigil are unaffected. Mandates that agent asked for stay valid until they expire or you revoke them.

### Envoy

Sumvin's money agent. Your agent creates an errand; Envoy runs it, inside the limits of your Stamped Mandates. See [Envoy](/concepts/envoy).

### Errand

A standing purchase: a long-running purchase task that runs under a Stamped Mandate and goes ahead only when your terms are met. One pre-authorised mandate can back many errands. See [Errands](/concepts/errands).

### Live

Available to everyone. One of the three status labels in these docs.

### Pre-authorised

A mode in which an errand may complete a purchase without asking you again, within its mandate and the conditions you set. The default is to approve each purchase.

### Private preview

Rolling out. It may not be available on your account yet. One of the three status labels in these docs.

### Repeat errand

An errand you want done more than once, running in pre-authorised mode. See [Repeat errands](/guides/repeat-errands).

### Revoke

Permanently withdraw a Stamped Mandate. Anything relying on it stops, including errands using it.

### Sigil

Your proof of personhood: a verified identity for you and your agents. Your agents carry it as proof that a real, verified person stands behind them. See [Sigil](/concepts/sigil).

### Stamped Mandate

A signed authorisation that says what an agent may do for you: sharing data, proving who it acts for, or spending, each with the limits you set. Sumvin's own object: not an AP2 mandate or a card-network mandate. See [Stamped Mandates](/concepts/stamped-mandates).

### Verification

Proving who you are, once: your phone number, then your identity. It is what your Sigil is issued on. See [Verify your identity](/get-started/first/verify).

## Technical note

<Info>
  Two renames are underway; the objects are the same.

  A Stamped Mandate was previously called a PINT (purchase-intent token). The old name still appears in some wire names and SDK types, in the current CLI command group `sumvin pint`, and in two MCP tools, `pint_query` and `pint_revoke`.

  An Errand was previously called an IPA (Intelligent Purchase Authorization). The old name may still appear in some wire paths and SDK types.
