What finance needs
Finance asks which automated actions moved money, under whose authority, and whether limits were respected. Generic SIEM dashboards rarely answer those questions.
Auctra Team accountability reports summarize allowed, blocked, and require_approval outcomes and highlight the most active agents for the selected period. Reconcile those totals with ERP and payment systems during review.
Report dimensions
Total allowed spend, blocked over-limit attempts, approval counts, average approval time, and top agents by volume. Flag sponsors with unusually high exception rates for coaching.
Compare report totals to bank statements and internal ledgers monthly. Discrepancies often reveal missing evaluateAction integration on a new tool path.
Closing the loop
Share reports with sponsors before delegation renewal. Use data to tighten limits where agents never approach caps and loosen where approvals cluster.
Business plan adds immutable audit for disputes requiring tamper-proof detail behind summary numbers. Enterprise supports custom report delivery schedules.
Getting started
Upgrade from Builder to Team when pilots graduate to production agent spend. Ninety-day retention covers a full quarter-close cycle.
Auctra ties sponsors, expiring delegations, and pre-action evaluation into one accountability chain your security and finance teams can audit.
Key takeaways
- Authority is enforced before side effects — use Delegations and evaluateAction together.
- Every production agent needs a named sponsor and bounded delegation visible in the console.
- Blocked and approval-required outcomes are evidence, not failures — review them in Delegations.
Implementation checklist
- Sign up at console.auctra.tech and open Delegations (/console/delegations).
