Implement the AP2 Payment Mandate — the VDC shared with payment networks and issuers to signal AI involvement and user authorization. Use when building payment authorization flows, tokenization, and network integration.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# AP2 Payment Mandate ## Before writing code **Fetch live docs**: 1. Fetch `https://ap2-protocol.org/ap2/specification/` for the Payment Mandate schema 2. Web-search `site:github.com google-agentic-commerce AP2 payment mandate` for type definitions 3. Web-search `site:github.com google-agentic-commerce AP2 src/ap2/types payment` for Python types 4.

How to install
mdr add orcaqubits/agentic-commerce-skills-plugins/ap2-payment-mandate@sha256:8f3697e4d059cc1eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.08f85a3, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
