Scopes say what an agent may do. Resources say what the mandate is bound to, the audience says who it is for, and conditions say what must be true first. ## Resources A resource is an identifier for one specific thing. A mandate with resources applies to those things only. A mandate with none is bound to nothing beyond its scopes. | Resource | Shape | Binds the mandate to | | -------- | ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Errand | `sr:us:errand:{id}` | One errand. The mandate can be used for that errand's purchase and no other. | | Mandate | `sr:us:pint:{id}` | Another mandate. A smaller mandate drawn from a larger one names the larger one here. See [Narrowing](/concepts/mandates/limits#a-mandate-only-narrows). | | Person | `sr:us:person:...` | Your own account. | Resource rules: * Each resource must be a well-formed identifier of a known family. Anything else is refused. * A resource identifier takes no parameters. A `?` in a resource is refused. * A scope name is never a resource. `sr:us:pint:spend:visa_checkout` in the resources is refused. * A condition is never a resource. Conditions have their own place in the mandate. * Resources are signed exactly as written: the same order, nothing removed or merged. ## Audience Every mandate is addressed to one party. A mandate addressed to one party is not valid for another. | Addressed to | Written as | | ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Your own account | Your account's identifier. This is what a mandate is addressed to when no one else is named. | | A service Sumvin knows | That service's identifier. | | Any website | Its bare hostname, in lowercase, such as `reservations.example.com`. | A hostname must be exactly that: lowercase letters, digits, hyphens and dots, with no scheme, port, path or `@`. `https://reservations.example.com/` and `Reservations.example.com` are refused, not tidied up, because two spellings of one site could be read as two different sites. Naming a website grants it nothing on its own. A mandate addressed to a website by hostname may carry only these scopes: * `sr:us:pint:sigil:kyc_status` * `sr:us:pint:sigil:proof_of_personhood` * `sr:us:pint:sigil:age_over_18` Anything else, such as spending or reading your data, must be addressed to a party Sumvin knows. ## Conditions A condition is a fact that must hold before a purchase can go ahead without asking you again. Conditions apply to purchases only. Every condition on a mandate must hold: they combine with AND. There is no OR, and no nesting. ```text theme={null} sr:us:condition:{type}?{key}={value}&{key}={value} ``` Every condition takes at least one parameter. Each key may appear once, and no value may be empty. | Type | Holds when | Parameters | | ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `price_target` | The best price compares to a target as stated. | `op`, `value`, `currency` (all required) | | `budget_cap` | The basket total is at most a figure. | `max`, `currency` (both required) | | `availability` | The offer has one of the listed availability states. | `statuses` (required, comma-separated, such as `in_stock,pre_order`) | | `time_window` | The purchase happens inside a window. | `not_before`, `not_after` (at least one; Unix time in **milliseconds**) | | `flight_route` | The flight runs between two airports. | `origin`, `destination` (required, IATA codes), `max_stops` (optional; `0` means direct only) | | `coverage_minimum` | Coverage is at least a percentage. | `min_pct` (required, 0 to 100) | | `jurisdiction` | The seller is in one of the listed countries. | `allowed` (required, comma-separated ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes) | `op` on `price_target` is one of: | `op` | Means | | ----- | ------------------- | | `lte` | At most the target | | `gte` | At least the target | | `lt` | Below the target | | `gt` | Above the target | | `eq` | Exactly the target | Amounts in conditions are written as plain decimals with no trailing zeros, such as `value=180` or `value=179.5`. Every condition appears in plain words on the page where you approve the mandate. A condition that can't be described in plain words can't be signed. ```text Example theme={null} sr:us:condition:price_target?op=lte&value=180¤cy=USD sr:us:condition:jurisdiction?allowed=GB,IE ``` Reads as: "the price is at most 180 USD" and "the seller is in GB, IE". ## Next Ceilings, units and expiry.
