Minute one: account

Create a free Builder account at the Auctra console. No credit card required for initial adoption.

Generate an API key for SDK tests and store it in your local environment. Builder includes seven-day audit retention.

Minutes two and three: agent and sponsor

Register an agent with name, purpose, and assigned human sponsor. Sponsors are required for accountable production patterns.

Create a delegation: choose action type, set a modest limit, expiration twenty-four hours ahead. Narrow scope accelerates learning.

Minutes four and five: evaluate

Call evaluateAction via SDK quickstart or console test with amount under your limit—expect allow. Retry over limit—expect block or approval depending on policy.

Open audit view and confirm sponsor, delegation, and decision appear in the chain. You now have runtime authority infrastructure wired.

What next

Integrate LangChain or MCP, upgrade to Team when you need accountability reports, Business for immutable audit. Read pricing guide for plan selection.

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 Agents registry 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 Agents registry.
