▲ METERED BY MNEMOPAY

The mission runtime that pays its own way.

Charter-driven autonomous agents. Every byte fiscally gated by MnemoPay's Agent FICO. Every action signed into a Merkle audit chain. EU AI Act Article 12 ready by default.

Charters

Mission YAML

A mission, a budget, a fiscal gate. The runtime spawns an agent under MnemoPay metering and logs every byte.

The thesis
An agent without a budget is a liability. An agent without an audit log is a lawsuit. Praetor ships both — at runtime, not in the README.

— Praetor STATE.md, 2026-04-28

How it works

Four stages. Every charter.

Praetor is not a framework, an orchestrator, or a wrapper. It is a runtime: declare a mission, open a budget, and the runtime spawns a metered agent under a Merkle-signed chain.

01

Charter

One YAML file declares the mission, the budget, the agent pack, and the surfaces it touches. Versioned in git. Reviewed like code.

02

Fiscal gate

MnemoPay opens a budget. Every API call, render, scrape, and inference is metered. Hit the cap, the agent halts. Agent FICO updates in real time.

03

Agent pack

OpenClaw, Hermes, your own. Praetor wraps any agent with the same charter contract. Skills runnable inside Claude Code, Claude Agent SDK, MCP.

04

Audit chain

Every step Merkle-signed. Article 12 log bundle generated on demand. PDF + JSON-LD + cryptographic proof — for the regulator, the auditor, the lawyer.

Fiscal gate

A live ledger. For every agent.

Praetor binds MnemoPay as its fiscal layer. Real Stripe + Paystack rails. Real escrow. Real Agent FICO 300-850. Not a mock — production payment infrastructure that 672 tests and 30K-stress-test prove out.

  • Metered every byte.  Token + render + scrape + storage. Charter sees the bill before the agent sees the prompt.
  • HITL escrow.  Spend over the threshold? Praetor pauses, fires a webhook, waits for human approval before unlocking.
  • Merkle proof.  Every transaction signed into a chain. Tamper-evident. Audit-grade. Court-defensible.
  • Agent FICO.  Behavioral score that follows the agent across charters. Bad agents lose access. Good ones unlock higher caps.
Design pack

Native motion. No build step.

Spline scenes, Hypeframes sequences, Remotion compositions, HTML-in-Canvas-3D heroes, declarative UI trees. A charter requests a surface; Praetor emits it. The page you're reading was rendered by the design pack itself.

Comparison

Built different. On purpose.

There are agent frameworks. There are payment SDKs. There are audit tools. Praetor is the only runtime that ships all three as one binary, with the fiscal gate at the kernel.
