# Scopes

> Every Stamped Mandate scope family, what each scope grants, and the parameters it takes.

A scope says one thing an agent may do. Each scope belongs to a family, named by its domain. This page lists the families and what every scope in them grants.

**Needs a verified Sigil** means the scope can only be used for a person who has completed [verification](/get-started/first/verify). A mandate carrying it does nothing for an unverified account.

Parameters are written as described in [The mandate language](/concepts/mandates/language#parameter-types). A parameter marked *required* must be present for the scope to be signed at all.

## Sigil: facts about you

Attestations about the verified person behind the agent, and one read of the agent's own identity.

| Scope | Grants | Parameters | Needs a verified Sigil |
| - | - | - | :-: |
| `sr:us:pint:sigil:kyc_status` | Attests your current identity verification status. | None | Yes |
| `sr:us:pint:sigil:proof_of_personhood` | Attests that you are a unique, verified person. | None | Yes |
| `sr:us:pint:sigil:age_over_18` | Attests that you are 18 or older. | None | Yes |
| `sr:us:pint:sigil:kyc_read` | Reads your verified identity details and documents. | `doc_type`, `reason`, `requestor` (all optional) | Yes |
| `sr:us:pint:sigil:agent_read` | Reads the identity of the connected agent making the request, and whether it is linked to your Sigil. Reads no financial data and can't see your other agents. | None | No |

`kyc_read` parameters:

* `doc_type`: limit the read to one kind of document, such as `passport` or `id_card`.
* `reason`: why the details are shared. One of a fixed list.
* `requestor`: the provider that receives them. One of a fixed list.

Sharing your details with a provider needs a `kyc_read` scope that carries **both** `reason` and `requestor`. The lists grow as providers are added.

The three attestations (`kyc_status`, `proof_of_personhood`, `age_over_18`) are the only scopes a mandate may carry when it is addressed to a website by its hostname. See [Resources and conditions](/concepts/mandates/resources#audience).

## Spend: paying for things

Purchases, which run as [errands](/concepts/errands).

| Scope | Grants | Parameters | Needs a verified Sigil |
| - | - | - | :-: |
| `sr:us:pint:spend:visa_checkout` | Card checkout through Visa Intelligent Commerce, up to a ceiling. | `max` (required), `currency` (required) | Yes |
| `sr:us:pint:spend:card` | Pins a checkout to one of your enrolled cards. Without it, the card is chosen when the purchase is made. | `id` (required): the card's id | Yes |

`max` on `spend:visa_checkout` is the most one checkout may charge, in the display unit of `currency`. See [Spending ceilings](/concepts/mandates/limits#spending-ceilings).

Scopes that spend a named asset, such as `spend:execute`, can appear more than once on a mandate, for example one per asset. Every one that matches the asset being moved applies, and the tightest limit wins. See [Several spending scopes](/concepts/mandates/limits#several-spending-scopes-on-one-mandate).

## Errand: purchase tasks

Starting, reading and managing [errands](/concepts/errands).

| Scope | Grants | Parameters | Needs a verified Sigil |
| - | - | - | :-: |
| `sr:us:pint:errand:search` | Start an errand: a long-running search for something to buy. | `time` (required), `max` | Yes |
| `sr:us:pint:errand:triage` | Start an errand from a suggestion you accepted. | None | Yes |
| `sr:us:pint:errand:task` | Start an errand from a task you gave an assistant. | None | Yes |
| `sr:us:pint:errand:insights` | Start an errand from a generated suggestion. | None | Yes |
| `sr:us:pint:errand:read` | Read your errands, their details and their history. | None | No |
| `sr:us:pint:errand:manage` | Answer an errand's questions, decide on it, or cancel it. | None | No |

`errand:search` parameters:

* `time`: how long the errand may keep searching, in seconds. `604800` is seven days. Sumvin also applies its own upper limit, and the shorter of the two wins.
* `max`: an optional purchase ceiling. It is **not enforced**, because this scope names no currency to measure it in. Put the ceiling that counts on `spend:visa_checkout`.

Starting an errand spends nothing. Paying needs a `spend` scope as well.

## Accounts and transactions: open-banking data

Linking accounts and reading their data through [Meld](/concepts/partners).

| Scope | Grants | Parameters | Needs a verified Sigil |
| - | - | - | :-: |
| `sr:us:pint:accounts:link` | Link your accounts through an open-banking provider: browse supported banks, start or repair a connection, and widen what it shares. | `provider` (optional): `meld` | No |
| `sr:us:pint:accounts:read` | Read your linked accounts and balances. | None | No |
| `sr:us:pint:accounts:update` | Change the details of a linked account, such as its nickname. | None | No |
| `sr:us:pint:accounts:sync` | Refresh your linked accounts from your bank, including balances and investment holdings. | None | No |
| `sr:us:pint:accounts:disconnect` | Disconnect a linked account or a bank connection. | None | No |
| `sr:us:pint:transactions:read` | Read your transaction history, details and receipts. | `from_date`, `to_date` (optional, Unix seconds) | No |

### Limit reads to a date range

With `from_date` or `to_date`, every transaction read is held inside that range: the list of transactions, a single transaction, a receipt download, and the [`transaction_query`](/reference/mcp/tools#transaction_query) tool on the connector. This holds whether or not the agent's request names dates of its own, so an agent that asks for everything gets only what falls inside the range.

* **A date filter outside the range is refused.** A request for dates the range doesn't cover is refused: with a 403 (`PINT-403-001`) over the API, and with a tool error naming the permitted range on MCP. With several ranges, a request that falls between two of them returns no transactions rather than being refused.
* **A single transaction outside the range is refused.** Fetching one by its id, or downloading its receipt, is refused with a 403.
* **Several entries add up.** A mandate can carry more than one `transactions:read` scope. A transaction is readable when it falls inside any of their ranges.
* **An entry with no dates leaves reads unbounded.** If any `transactions:read` scope states neither date, the mandate doesn't limit which transactions the agent can read.

<Note>
  **Signing in to a connector carries no date range.** When you connect Sumvin to an assistant, the access you approve, such as `sumvin:transactions:read`, can't carry parameters. An assistant reading on that approval alone isn't held to a date range. To bound what an agent reads, sign a Stamped Mandate that states `from_date` and `to_date`, and have the agent present it in the `x-sumvin-pint-token` header (the bare token, no `Bearer` prefix) on its requests to Sumvin.

## Proofs: facts about your money

Proving something about your money to someone else without showing them the figures.

| Scope | Grants | Parameters | Needs a verified Sigil |
| - | - | - | :-: |
| `sr:us:pint:proofs:balance` | Proves your balance is at least an amount, without disclosing the balance itself. | `min` (required), `currency` (required), `timing` (optional) | Yes |

`proofs:balance` parameters:

* `min`: the amount being proven, in the display unit of `currency`. It follows the same rules as a spending ceiling: fractions up to the currency's precision, positive only, written as a plain decimal. A `min` finer than the currency's precision, such as `min=1.001&currency=USD`, is refused, never rounded. See [Spending ceilings](/concepts/mandates/limits#spending-ceilings) and [Numbers](/concepts/mandates/language#numbers).
* `currency`: the ISO 4217 code the amount is stated in, such as `USD`.
* `timing`: when the balance is checked. `live` checks it each time a proof is made, and is the default. `snapshot` checks the most recent balance on record. `frozen` checks it once and holds the answer for the life of the mandate.

## Read mandates

An agent asking you directly for a mandate asks for one of two kinds:

* **Spend**: the spend scopes above, with exactly one spending ceiling.
* **Read**: any of `accounts:read`, `transactions:read` and `proofs:balance`. A read mandate spends nothing and carries no ceiling.

A request mixing the two kinds is refused. To grant both, sign two mandates. See [Time limits](/concepts/mandates/limits#time-limits) for how long each lasts.

## Mandates: asking for and checking mandates

| Scope | Grants | Parameters | Needs a verified Sigil |
| - | - | - | :-: |
| `sr:us:pint:mandates:propose` | Draft a mandate and put it to you to sign. Drafting grants nothing until you sign. | None | No |
| `sr:us:pint:mandates:read` | Read the mandates you have been asked to sign, and where each request has got to. | None | No |
| `sr:us:pint:mandates:verify` | Check a mandate somebody else presents: what it permits, up to how much, and whether it still stands. Reads nothing about the person who signed it. | None | No |
| `sr:us:pint:pints:read` | Read the mandates you have signed, including what each one permits. | None | No |
| `sr:us:pint:pints:revoke` | Revoke a mandate you have signed. Revocation is permanent. | None | No |

`mandates:read` covers only your own requests. Checking a mandate that belongs to someone else always needs `mandates:verify`.

## Onboarding: setting up your account

| Scope | Grants | Parameters | Needs a verified Sigil |
| - | - | - | :-: |
| `sr:us:pint:onboarding:read` | Read how far you have got in setting up your account, and the state of your Sigil. | None | No |
| `sr:us:pint:onboarding:verify` | Start identity verification and hand back a link for you to complete it. | None | No |

## Your account

Reading what your Sumvin account holds. Your linked accounts and transactions are covered by the accounts and transactions family above.

| Scope | Grants | Parameters | Needs a verified Sigil |
| - | - | - | :-: |
| `sr:us:pint:assets:read` | Read the assets you hold, with balances and prices. | None | No |
| `sr:us:pint:wallets:read` | Read your wallets, including addresses, networks and nicknames. | None | No |

## Not listed here

The catalogue also holds scopes for products these docs don't cover, and a few reserved names with nothing behind them yet. A mandate naming a scope that is not in the catalogue at all is refused.
