Use Cases · Agent Commerce by CertifiedData
Dataset and digital asset purchases
When AI agents purchase datasets or training data autonomously, traceability matters. Agent Commerce links the payment to the data: a signed receipt records what was purchased, when, under what policy, and through which rail.
Why receipts matter for data purchases
Provenance chain
A signed receipt creates an auditable link between the payment and the dataset. The receipt_id can be cross-referenced against the CertifiedData artifact registry.
Purpose tagging
The purpose_tag field (data_access) identifies the category of spend in the authorization log - enabling downstream reporting by spend type.
Policy-enforced limits
Spend amount ceilings and merchant allowlists prevent agents from purchasing datasets outside approved vendors or budget.
Governance alignment
For regulated AI workflows, signed payment receipts help demonstrate that training data was procured through a documented, policy-governed process.
Add verifiable purchase records to data workflows
Upgrade from testing to production plans when you need signed receipts, audit-ready records, and verification surfaces for dataset procurement.
