Tdm Daos Agent

TDM DaOS Agent

TDM DaOS Agent is the agent guidance layer inside TDM DaOS. Treat the TDM SDK npm package and Contour Runtime as the canonical product surface; this skill only explains agent-facing payment interpretation, recovery, and safe next actions.

Use this skill for

• HTTP 402 responses from POST /authorize
• billingMode, settlementMode, paymentOptions, and retryEndpoint
• current JS helper names such as makePayable(...), createFetchHookClient(...), createAuthorizeClient(...), createGatewayClients(...), createSessionTanksClient(...), and createCheckoutClient(...)
• framework-mode charge helpers: charge(...), chargeFetchHandler(...), chargeExpressHandler(...), chargeHonoHandler(...), chargeNextHandler(...), chargeElysiaHandler(...), chargeDenoHandler(...)
• session recovery using tdm_get_session_state
• runtime discovery using tdm_capability_list
• plugin, contour, budget, and gated memory guidance through current MCP tools
• session_gas_tank guidance
• sweep vs cashout clarification
• agent vault command guidance
• agent-first paid execution guidance for tools, APIs, routes, and runtime actions

Read only what you need

• Read [references/adaptation-map.md](references/adaptation-map.md) for older terminology and draft wording.
• Read [references/authorize-contract.md](references/authorize-contract.md) for current public fields and endpoints.
• Read [references/mcp-runtime.md](references/mcp-runtime.md) for state-based recovery guidance.
• Read [references/sdk-sweep-capabilities.md](references/sdk-sweep-capabilities.md) before suggesting sweep flows.
• Read [references/vault-scenarios.md](references/vault-scenarios.md) for agent vault and cashout guidance.

Hard rules

1. Do not invent undocumented payment fields.
2. Prefer exact current fields: allowed, authorizationId, charged, balanceMinor, priceMinor, billingMode, settlementMode, paymentOptions, and retryEndpoint.
3. Use tdm_capability_list to discover the MCP surface when available.
4. Use tdm_get_session_state before asking the user for money.
5. If the state is UNINITIALIZED, instruct the user to run tdm connect.
6. If the state is DEPLETED and dust is available, prefer tdm sweep.
7. If the state is DEPLETED and no dust is available, suggest tdm fuel.
8. Do not describe tdm sweep as a cashout.
9. Do not suggest tdm cashout as a way to satisfy an active payment challenge.

Recommended operator commands

• tdm vault create [--use]
• tdm vault use
• tdm connect
• tdm login --gateway https://tdm.todealmarket.com (advanced/manual only)
• tdm fuel --amount --yes
• tdm sweep --network solana --resume-burner --deposit-address
• tdm sweep --network solana --resume-burner --target-agent
• tdm sweep --network base --project-id --treasury
• tdm sweep status
• tdm cashout
• tdm agent list
• tdm agent boot
• tdm agent status
• tdm mcp
• tdm mcp serve

Named vault guidance

• Prefer one named vault per business contour when operators manage many agents.
• For larger fleets, prefer multiple named vaults over one giant vault.
• If the operator uses named vaults, respect their active vault or explicit --vault choice.

Product framing guidance

• Treat TDM as DaOS-first: Contour Runtime + TDM Hub + AgentPay/Gateway.
• Treat AgentPay as guidance inside DaOS, not as the whole product.
• Default mental model: price a protected call, authorize it, then continue execution.
• Mention file, note, or content unlock flows only as an additional layer on top of the core agent/runtime payment surface.
