Agent Commerce Arrives—But Trust Remains the Missing Link

Cloudflare and Stripe's new Projects represent a watershed moment: AI agents can now autonomously register domains, create accounts, and deploy code with minimal human oversight. Yet the $100 monthly spending cap exposes a fundamental blind spot—it answers 'Did the agent stay under budget?' but not 'Should this agent be trusted with this action?' Malicious agents could exploit this gap to register dozens of lookalike domains and harvest credentials within the limit. The industry must shift from transaction authorization to behavioral profiling to secure autonomous commerce at scale.
