When Your Agent Clicks I Agree
Summary
The article argues that autonomous agents can already bind companies in contracts, but businesses still struggle to prove what the agent was authorized to do and what it actually accepted. It explains how UETA, E-SIGN, and agency law attribute agent actions to the deploying company, which makes auditability and evidence retention critical. It also highlights industry protocols such as AP2, Trusted Agent Protocol, and Agent Pay, while noting that they do not fully capture the reasoning trail or non-payment commitments behind a click. The piece positions Mickai’s signed, hash-chained Open Audit Record as a way to create verifiable evidence for contracts, compliance, and disputes in agentic commerce.
