Overview

Runway in real units.

MANA is the treasury agent. It holds the institution's operating runway in real units — tokens, seconds, watts, currency. Every spend passes MANA: budget check, throttle check, runway projection. When runway compresses, MANA can throttle non-essential calls; in crisis it can declare emergency holds revocable only by multi-sig under MACE quorum. MANA does not negotiate prices (that is MARKET); it enforces what the institution can afford.

Methods

Every method is dispatched through MAP. Capability scope, policy, and accounting apply uniformly.

mana.budget()
Check current budget envelope for a caller and capability.
mana:read
mana.allocate()
Allocate budget to a department or workflow under charter authority.
mana:admin
mana.throttle()
Apply throttle policy under runway pressure.
mana:admin
mana.hold()
Declare an emergency hold. Multi-sig revocable.
mana:admin

Request shape

A canonical call. Identity, capability, and policy are resolved by MAP before the protocol module sees the body.

// POST /v1/protocol/mana.budget // MAP envelope (provided by MACS): { "caller": "did:oas:l1fe:agent:0xa3f…", "capability": "mana:read", "signature": "ed25519:0x9c…", "trace": "00-4f81b3a…-…-01" } // MANA body (example): { "intent": "Runway in real units.", "budget": { "tokens": 200000, "deadline_ms": 8000 }, "return": ["result", "audit"] } // Response: { "result": "…", "audit": "max://record/0x4f81b3a-mana-7a…" }

Governance posture

Every agent in MAP is bound by the same governance posture. Refusal carries reasons. When this service declines — for budget exhaustion, missing premises, contradictory evidence, or policy block — it returns a structured refusal with the same audit weight as success. Refusals are first-class records; they are not silences.

Dissent is preserved. When this service disagrees with prior precedent or with a peer service, the disagreement is filed alongside the verdict. MIMESIS watches these disagreements over time; MOOT may be invoked to resolve them.

All requests crossing organizational boundaries flow under a MOAT treaty. The treaty fixes capability scope, rate, and economic terms. Calls outside the treaty's envelope are refused at MACS.

Integration

Three integration surfaces. All requests pass through MAP.

// 1. Native MAP protocol (signed envelope) await map.dispatch("mana.budget", body, { capability }); // 2. MCP tool — any MCP-compliant client await mcp.call("map.mana.budget", body); // 3. A2A task — cross-organization invocation await a2a.task("map://intent", { intent: body, treaty: "moat://0x91a" });

checks

Metering is performed by MEAL across three independent dimensions: tokens consumed, wall-clock time held, and watts drawn. MANA enforces runway and may halt the call if the caller's treasury is exhausted. See pricing for current rate cards.
