 "summary_md": "AMP is Ant International's open protocol for AI agents that shop and pay through mobile wallets on the Alipay+ network [1][3]. The person signs a Mandate in advance, either IMMEDIATE (one purchase) or AUTONOMOUS (the agent may act later within limits) [2]. An Intent Guard then checks each later step against that mandate [1].\n\nThe spec text names four checkpoints: mandate creation pre-verification, payment token, payment request and wallet debit (S1 to S4). It also defines three layers of assurance data (user identity, mandate authorization and payment token request), carried as a three-layer SD-JWT [2]. The repository has five spec documents with MUST/SHOULD requirements, under Apache-2.0 [1].\n\nAnt International launched AMP on 2026-04-28, calling it fully open-sourced and citing 40+ wallet partners, 1.8 billion accounts and 150 million merchants [3]. The public repository, however, was only created on 2026-08-17 and has no tags or releases [1]. A global rollout with 50+ mobile payment partners was reported on 2026-09-11 [4]. All adoption figures are Ant's own.\n\nAMP defines nothing at a merchant's origin, so there is no path to probe. It overlaps in purpose with AP2's mandates and the card networks' agent-payment schemes, but runs on wallet rails rather than cards.",
