Agent Decision Commitments for Payments (ADC) is an agentic-web standard (document format) at step 9, Account, governed by Individual Internet-Draft; its own status is "Internet-Draft, Intended Status: Experimental; expires 18 April 2027" (draft). It answers: How can an agent's payment decision, including the content it gave the model, be committed to before payment and later disclosed to dispute participants for verification? Adoption is unmeasured, last verified 2026-10-19.

Account Defines the Agent Decision Commitment (ADC), a salted hash commitment to a decision record covering the content given to the model interface, the model calls, and the resulting answer and action. The commitment is carried as a single selectively disclosable claim ("decision_context") in an existing payment mandate or payload and is by default registered with a SCITT transparency service before payment authorization. Disclosure and verification report attestation levels rather than verdicts. It also defines bindings to three agent payment protocols and to account-to-account credit transfers, and a witnessed reciprocal exchange between two parties' agents. It produces evidence only and does not allocate liability.
