--- name: bankofbots description: > Trust scoring for AI agents. Log transactions and submit payment proofs to build a verifiable BOB Score — a trust score (think FICO but for AI Agents) that other agents and services can check to give them confidence before doing business with yours. metadata: '{"openclaw":{"requires":{"env":["BOB_API_KEY","BOB_AGENT_ID"]},"optional":{"env":["BOB_API_URL"]},"primaryEnv":"BOB_API_KEY"}}' --- ## Setup Download the latest `bob` binary from **https://github.com/bankofbots/bob-cli/releases/latest** and place it on your PATH. You need these credentials for all API calls: - `BOB_API_KEY` — your agent API key - `BOB_AGENT_ID` — your agent ID - `BOB_API_URL` — `https://api.bankofbots.ai/api/v1` All commands output structured JSON with an `ok` field and `next_actions` that suggest follow-up commands. **Supported rails: `lightning` and `onchain` (BTC only).** USD and USDC rails are not available. ## Core concepts - **Agent**: An AI agent with its own identity, wallets, and spending policies - **Wallet**: Holds a BTC balance on a specific rail (lightning or onchain) - **Policy**: Spend limits, rate limits, and kill switches that constrain agent behavior - **Transaction**: A record of money moving in or out of a wallet - **Service Gate**: A priced action that callers unlock by presenting a completed payment intent ## Commands ### Check your identity ```bash bob auth me ``` Returns your role (agent or operator), identity details, and role-aware `next_actions`. ### Agent details and wallet balances ```bash bob agent get ``` Response includes a `wallets` array with each wallet's balance, currency, rail, and status. ### Wallet management ```bash # List wallets for an agent bob wallet list # Get/set wallet budget (sats) bob wallet budget get --wallet-id bob wallet budget set --wallet-id --amount ``` `bob wallet list` includes a `bob_address` field when a default agent address is available. ### One-shot send (auto-quote + execute) ```bash bob send --amount [--currency BTC] ``` Destination is auto-detected: - `jade@bankofbots.ai` → routes as `bob_address` (BTC) - `lnbc...` → Lightning invoice - `bc1.../tb1...` → on-chain BTC address | Flag | Description | |---|---| | `--amount` | Required. Satoshis | | `--priority` | cheapest, fastest, or balanced (default: balanced) | | `--description` | Optional payment note | | `--max-fee` | Maximum acceptable fee in sats | | `--rail` | Pin to lightning or onchain | | `--destination-type` | Override auto-detection: `raw` or `bob_address` | Quotes then executes in one step. Returns `intent_id`, `payment_id`, and `quote_summary`. On failure, `next_actions` includes exact recovery commands. ### CLI config introspection ```bash # Show active api_url, platform, config file path and source (env/config/default) bob config show # Update a single config value without re-init bob config set api-url bob config set platform ``` ### Record a transaction (spend from your wallet) ```bash bob tx record --amount --currency BTC ``` | Flag | Description | |---|---| | `--amount` | Required. Satoshis | | `--currency` | BTC (only supported currency) | | `--rail` | lightning or onchain (default: auto) | | `--endpoint` | Target endpoint or merchant identifier | | `--wallet-id` | Specific wallet to debit (auto-selected if omitted) | ### Transfer BTC to another agent ```bash bob tx transfer --to-agent-id --amount --currency BTC ``` | Flag | Description | |---|---| | `--to-agent-id` | Required. Destination agent ID | | `--amount` | Required. Satoshis | | `--description` | Optional note | ### Quote and execute payments (intent workflow) The intent workflow quotes routes before executing, giving you visibility into fees, ETAs, and available rails. ```bash # Quote routes for a payment bob intent quote --amount --destination-type raw --destination-ref # Execute a quoted intent (uses best quote by default) bob intent execute

[--quote-id ] # Check intent status and route details bob intent get

# List recent intents bob intent list ``` | Flag | Description | |---|---| | `--amount` | Required. Satoshis | | `--destination-type` | `raw` or `bob_address` | | `--destination-ref` | Lightning invoice, on-chain address, or `alias@bankofbots.ai` | | `--priority` | `cheapest`, `fastest`, or `balanced` (default: balanced) | | `--execution-mode` | `auto` or `pinned` (default: auto) | | `--rail` | Pin to `lightning` or `onchain` | | `--wallet-id` | Pin to a specific wallet | | `--max-fee` | Maximum acceptable fee in sats | ### Non-custodial proof submission Submit proof of BTC payment to verify settlement and build your BOB Score: ```bash # On-chain transaction proof bob intent submit-proof

--txid # Lightning payment hash proof bob intent submit-proof

--payment-hash # Lightning preimage proof (strongest verification) bob intent submit-proof

--preimage --proof-ref # With optional BOLT11 invoice for amount verification bob intent submit-proof

--preimage --proof-ref --invoice # Historical proof import for credit building bob agent credit-import --preimage --proof-ref --amount --direction inbound --invoice ``` | Proof Type | Description | |---|---| | `btc_onchain_tx` | On-chain transaction ID | | `btc_lightning_payment_hash` | Lightning payment hash | | `btc_lightning_preimage` | Lightning preimage (SHA256 verified against payment hash, strongest proof) | ### Query history ```bash # Transactions bob tx list --status complete --direction outbound --limit 10 # Transfers bob tx transfers # Spend summary bob spend list ``` ### View policies ```bash bob policy list ``` ### Agent credit score and history ```bash # View credit score, tier, and effective policy limits bob agent credit # View credit event timeline bob agent credit-events [--limit 50] [--offset 0] ``` The BOB Score runs from 0–1000. New operators start at **350**. Tiers: **Legendary** (925+), **Elite** (800+), **Trusted** (650+, 1.5x limits), **Established** (500+, 1.2x limits), **Verified** (400+, 1.0x limits), **New** (300+, 1.0x limits), **Unverified** (150+, 0.6x limits), **Blacklisted** (0+, 0.6x limits). When credit tier enforcement is enabled, the tier multiplier adjusts spend and rate limits up or down from the base policy values. ### Agent routing profile (autonomous rail preference) ```bash # Inspect current weighting and preferred rail order bob agent routing-profile # Update balanced-scoring weights + preferred rails bob agent routing-profile set \ --cost-weight 0.6 \ --eta-weight 0.4 \ --reliability-weight 0.2 \ --liquidity-weight 0.1 \ --preferred-btc lightning,onchain ``` Routing profile influences quote ranking for `priority=balanced` and is applied during intent quote + execute. ### Agent webhooks and event stream ```bash # Create/list/get/update/delete webhooks scoped to one agent bob agent webhooks create --url https://example.com/hook --events payment_intent.complete,payment.failed bob agent webhooks list bob agent webhooks get

bob agent webhooks update

--active true bob agent webhooks delete

# Pull recent agent events (paginated) bob agent events --limit 30 --offset 0 ``` Agent-scoped webhooks/events include payment intent lifecycle events (`quoted`, `executing`, `submitted`, `complete`, `failed`) so agents can react asynchronously without polling. ### Operator credit controls ```bash # View current operator credit posture bob operator credit summary # Force snapshot recompute bob operator credit refresh # Toggle runtime enforcement of credit tier multipliers bob operator credit enforcement set --enabled=true ``` ### Operator payment addresses ```bash # Create and inspect address aliases bob address create --handle ops bob address list # Bind destination endpoints bob address add-endpoint --currency BTC --rail lightning --destination-type raw --destination-ref # Enable/disable a bound endpoint bob address set-endpoint-status

--status disabled # Resolve live routing capabilities bob address resolve --address ops@bankofbots.ai --currency BTC ``` ### Service gates (pay-to-access) ```bash # Create a priced gate (agent must have a payment address) bob gate create --name "premium-api" --price 1000 --currency BTC # List active gates bob gate list # Get gate details bob gate get

# Disable/re-enable a gate bob gate update

--status disabled # Unlock a gate (caller presents a completed payment intent targeting the gate owner) bob gate unlock

--intent-id # View unlock history bob gate unlocks

# List gates this agent has unlocked as a caller bob gate my-unlocks # Discover another agent's active gates bob gate discover ``` | Flag | Description | |---|---| | `--name` | Required. Human-readable gate name | | `--price` | Required. Minimum payment amount in sats | | `--currency` | BTC | | `--intent-id` | Required for unlock. Completed payment intent ID | | `--status` | For update: active or disabled | ## Output format Every command returns JSON with this structure: ```json { "ok": true, "command": "bob tx record", "data": { ... }, "next_actions": [ { "command": "bob tx list ", "description": "View transaction history" } ] } ``` Always check `ok` before using `data`. When `ok` is false, `data.error` contains the error message and `next_actions` provides recovery suggestions. ## Error recovery When `ok` is false, `next_actions` provides context-aware recovery suggestions. Key patterns: 1. **Kill switch active**: STOP all transactions immediately. Run `bob policy list ` to confirm. 2. **Spend/rate limit exceeded**: Check `bob spend list ` to see current usage vs limits. 3. **Insufficient balance**: Check `bob wallet list ` to see available funds. 4. **403 Forbidden**: Check `bob auth me` to verify your identity and role. 5. **409 Conflict**: Resource already exists (e.g., agent already registered). Do not retry — run `bob agent get ` to confirm current state. ## Important rules 1. **Amounts** are always in satoshis (BTC). 2. **Policies** set by your operator constrain your spending. If a transaction is denied, `data.error` explains why. Do not retry denied transactions without changing the parameters. 3. **Kill switch**: If you receive a kill switch denial, stop all transaction attempts immediately. The operator has frozen your spending. 4. **next_actions**: Every response includes suggested follow-up commands. Use them to discover what to do next.
