Use Mercenta
Business Operator and confirmations
Give the agent a bounded goal. Inspect its tools, quote and saved test delivery.
Give it a task
Open Assistant → Chat in Mercenta. Business Operator can inspect prepaid funds, check saved budgets, search the complete received catalogue, inspect available options and request a server quote. A model chooses typed tools from observations; server policy controls execution.
Sign in with your wallet for account tools. Enter a product goal, task cap, quantity, region and minimum balance to leave on your prepaid account. Wallet funds are separate. ANY permits any region; choose a specific eligible region when product restrictions matter. Saved per-order, daily and monthly purchase limits still apply.
Learn by doing
Choose Show me how to start for a three-step interactive guide: describe the product, set the task limit, then review the result. The example button only fills the goal; it does not run a task or authorize spending. The final step returns focus to the task field.
Use the question-mark buttons beside Task cap, Keep in account, Region, Quantity and How to run. Help opens by keyboard focus, hover or touch; Escape closes it. The task cap limits this task, while the minimum remainder protects your prepaid account. Neither setting transfers or locks funds.
Choose your control
Review the plan first is the default: the agent stops at a quote. Inspect the product, option, quantity, region and exact test debit, then explicitly confirm non-redeemable delivery.
Delegate one test purchase requires a separate checkbox authorizing the displayed cap, quantity, region, remaining-balance floor, one-order limit and ten-minute expiry. Within those boundaries the agent may choose an observed available option and execute without another purchase click. A goal or model response alone is never permission to spend.
The rehearsal price is 1 test USDC per unit, up to ten units, regardless of the indicative catalogue USD price. Delivery contains saved non-redeemable test codes. No real supplier invoices, stock reservation, real goods, mainnet or live Earn are enabled.
Watch actions, not claims
The activity timeline shows persisted tools: balance, saved limits, catalogue search, option inspection, quote, permitted checkout and receipt verification. A model rationale is untrusted explanation, not proof of a debit or delivery.
Current budgets, available funds and the remaining-balance floor are checked again when executing. Hallucinated IDs, unsupported tools, expired permissions and unavailable models block the task. A rules response is not presented as AI execution.
Inspect the saved delivery and order ID, then Shop → Purchases and Account → Activity. Test account funding is not revenue. A paid margin report is a scenario, not verified profit.
Stop or recover
Stop task revokes future execution, including an in-flight model response. Already executed orders cannot be cancelled to pretend that funds were refunded.
Tasks advance while the Assistant is open; this is not an unattended background daemon. Reopening restores the original task. After a connection error, resume it or refresh its status before starting a replacement. A claimed step may need up to 45 seconds to expire after interruption. Six durable step claims and 40 tasks per account/day bound work.
Original task/confirmation IDs and saved delivery survive database restart. Replayed confirmation returns the same order instead of another debit. History displays current account funds, not a frozen historical balance.
Ask a question instead
Choose Ask a question for ordinary read-only help. Guests can ask interface questions without account access; the preview is limited to five questions per signed browser session per UTC day plus a shared service cap. Signed-in conversational tools have separate daily limits. Never send passwords, wallet keys, provider credentials or sensitive personal details.
Questions and task observations are sent to configured model providers. Important explanations must be verified against the UI and guide, not treated as financial, tax or legal advice.
Circle paid service is separate
The Operator screen can prepare a 0.001000 test-USDC quote for a Mercenta-owned fixed margin-scenario report. Preparation never pays. The separate agent wallet/Gateway balance and exact payment confirmation are distinct from your prepaid Shop account. Queued Gateway acceptance is not final settlement; reconcile the original authorization and inspect final matching evidence. Contract allocations require genuine owner wallet signatures.
Shop limits do not cover Gateway, external wallet transfers or Profit First contract allocations. See spending limits and Circle Gateway.
