1
Parent Authority
Paste the authority the first agent currently holds. This is the maximum boundary available to delegate.
OPEN PMAS VERIFIER
Authority can move. It must not grow.
The PMAS verifier proves that authority cannot grow as it moves between machines. Compare what a parent agent holds with what it proposes to delegate downstream.
AUTHORIZES ACTIONSNo
EXECUTES RAILSNo
PERSISTS DOCUMENTSNo
HOW TO USE THIS VERIFIER
Four steps from delegated authority to proof.
You do not need to be a PMAS expert to understand the result. The JSON is the technical artifact; the verifier translates it into a clear delegation comparison.
2
Proposed Child Authority
Paste the authority the downstream agent would receive. It may stay equal or become narrower.
3
Verify Delegation
Paylogee compares scope, amounts, merchants, environments, rails, currencies, validity, state, usage and subdelegation.

Read the result
PASS means no authority grew. REJECTED means the child gained authority it was never entitled to receive.
BUSINESS-LANGUAGE EXAMPLE
A procurement agent cannot create a bigger spending authority for its child.
The example below is intentionally simplified for business users. The JSON editors later on show the portable PMAS representation.
delegates to
proposed child
Delegation rejected. The child per-transaction ceiling is $500 higher than the parent authority. This verifier result is evidence, not a Gateway decision.
WHY THIS MATTERS OPERATIONALLY
One invariant, different value for every team.
HOW PAYLOGEE FITS TOGETHER
From identity to accountable execution.
Each layer answers a different enterprise question. The verifier focuses only on whether delegated authority grew.
IdentityWHO is this agent?
Machine identity and subject.
KYAIS it the expected agent?
Identity, principal and runtime posture.
Machine AuthorityWHAT may it do?
Bounded operational power.
PMASHOW is authority represented?
Portable authority contract.
No AmplificationCAN delegation become broader?
This verifier answers no.
Paylogee RuntimeSHOULD this action happen now?
Canonical governance and decision path.
Commerce ReceiptWHAT happened and why?
Post-action evidence.
TECHNICAL VERIFICATION
Compare two PMAS Authority Envelopes.
Use the canonical examples or paste your own documents. The left side is the authority being delegated from; the right side is the authority proposed for the child.
Authority Envelope: a portable JSON document describing the principal, agent subject, allowed actions and resources, merchants/counterparties, environment, rails, currencies, spend ceilings, usage, validity, state and subdelegation.
