mandates-core (Python)

Python SDK for creating, signing, and verifying Mandates — deterministic agreements between AI or human agents — designed to work with the ERC-8004 agent ecosystem and the Mandate Specs repository.

This SDK mirrors the TypeScript @quillai-network/mandates-core package and adds support for building core payloads from remote Primitives hosted in the mandate-specs repo.

---

Features

• Create structured Mandate objects with strongly-typed fields
• Canonicalize and hash Mandates for signing
• Generate and verify EIP-191 signatures for client and server agents
• Build core payloads from remote primitives (for example, swap@1)
• Keep the Mandate schema in sync with the mandate-specs repository

---

Installation

pip install mandates-core

Quickstart

from eth_account import Account
from mandates_core import Mandate, build_core

1. Create demo accounts and CAIP-10 identifiers

client_acct = Account.create()
server_acct = Account.create()

client_caip10 = f"eip155:1:{client_acct.address}"
server_caip10 = f"eip155:1:{server_acct.address}"

2. Build a primitive core (swap@1) from the remote registry

core = build_core(
    "swap@1",
    {
        "chainId": 1,
        "tokenIn": "0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48",
        "tokenOut": "0x2260FAC5E5542a773Aa44fBCfeDf7C193bc2C599",
        "amountIn": "100000000",      # 100 USDC (6 decimals)
        "minOut": "165000",
        "recipient": client_acct.address,
        "deadline": "2025-12-31T00:00:00Z",
    },
)

3. Create a Mandate

m = Mandate(
    version="0.1.0",
    client=client_caip10,
    server=server_caip10,
    deadline="2025-12-31T00:10:00Z",
    intent="Swap 100 USDC for WBTC on Ethereum mainnet",
    core=core,
)

4. Sign as server then client

m.sign_as_server(server_acct.key.hex())
m.sign_as_client(client_acct.key.hex())

5. Verify signatures

result = m.verify_all()
print("Client signature valid:", result["client"]["ok"])
print("Server signature valid:", result["server"]["ok"])
print("All valid:", result["all_ok"])

Primitives and the Remote Registry

By default, build_core resolves primitives from the mandate-specs GitHub repository:

• Registry: spec/primitives/registry.json

• Example entry for swap@1:

  {
    "kind": "swap@1",
    "name": "swap",
    "version": 1,
    "schemaPath": "primitives/swap/swap@1.schema.json",
    "description": "Chain-agnostic token swap primitive."
  }
  

The SDK fetches:

1. registry.json to locate a primitive by kind
2. The primitive schema at schemaPath
3. Returns a core object of the form:

{
    "kind": "swap@1",
    "payload": { ...your swap fields... }
}

You can override the base URL if you want to point to a fork or snapshot:

import mandates_core.primitives as primitives

core = primitives.build_core(
    "swap@1",
    payload,
    base_url="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/your-org/your-specs-repo/main/spec",
)
