# AI Agent Integration in Synclear's CeDeFi Protocol

> Integrate autonomous agents with Synclear under programmable on-chain mandates, with built-in spending controls, trust scoring, and a full audit trail.

Synclear's AI agent integration layer allows autonomous programs — trading bots, treasury management agents, DeFi automation pipelines, and yield optimizers — to interact directly with Synclear protocol primitives under strict, on-chain-enforced mandates. Rather than granting unconstrained access, every agent operates within a declarative authorization envelope that specifies permitted actions, asset allowlists, transaction size caps, and time-bounded validity. This architecture gives institutional operators the automation benefits of programmable agents without surrendering the auditability and control that regulated businesses require.

<Note>
  All agents must be registered and approved through the Synclear agent registry before they are permitted to submit any protocol interactions. Unregistered agent addresses will be rejected at the contract level regardless of instruction source.
</Note>

## How It Works

Agent integration in Synclear is built on three interlocking systems. A **mandate** defines what an agent is authorized to do and under what constraints. A **spending limit engine** enforces per-transaction, daily, and lifetime volume caps on-chain before any execution is allowed to proceed. An **accountability layer** records every agent action immutably, feeds a continuously updated trust score, and exposes a structured audit trail for compliance and reconciliation purposes.

Together, these systems allow principals — protocol participants who register and authorize agents — to delegate operational work with precision. An agent can be authorized to deposit and withdraw USDC up to \$50,000 per day, for example, while being explicitly prohibited from borrowing or accessing other asset classes. Mandate parameters are enforced by the `MandateRegistry` smart contract; no off-chain configuration can override them.

  <Card title="Mandates & Limits" icon="file-contract" href="/ai-agents/mandates-and-limits/overview">
    Define and manage on-chain authorization records that govern what actions an agent may take, which protocols it may access, and how much volume it may move.

  <Card title="Accountability" icon="shield-check" href="/ai-agents/accountability/overview">
    Every agent action is recorded on-chain. Agents accumulate a trust score over time, and a full audit trail is available for compliance reporting and reconciliation.

## Supported Agent Types

Synclear's mandate system is agent-framework agnostic. Any autonomous program that can sign transactions with a registered agent address can operate under a mandate. Common integration patterns include:

* **Treasury management agents** that rebalance stablecoin positions across lending pools
* **Yield optimization bots** that move liquidity in response to rate changes
* **Risk management agents** that automatically deleverage positions when collateral ratios approach thresholds
* **Automated repayment schedulers** that service loan obligations on a defined cadence

## Agent Registration Overview

Before a mandate can be created, the agent's address must be registered against a principal account. Registration records the agent's public key, an optional metadata URI, and the registering principal's on-chain identity. Registration is a prerequisite for all mandate creation and does not by itself grant any operational permissions.
