What is an Agent Treasury?

1 min read Updated

The central fund pool for an organization's agent operations — from which individual agent budgets are drawn, with controls on allocation, disbursement, and replenishment.

WHY IT MATTERS

Multiple agents need structured fund management. Treasury centralizes: org → agent treasury → individual agents per budgets.

Involves: allocation, burn rate monitoring, replenishment, spending reconciliation.

Provides natural aggregation for fleet-level constraints while agents maintain sub-limits.

HOW POLICYLAYER USES THIS

PolicyLayer governs treasury draws — allocation rules, velocity limits, automatic alerts on low balances.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How is treasury different from a funding wallet?
The treasury is the organizational pool. Funding wallets are per-agent. Treasury management governs how funds flow from pool to individual agents.
Multi-sig treasury?
Recommended. Using a multi-sig or Safe for the treasury adds an additional security layer before funds reach agent wallets.
Automatic replenishment?
PolicyLayer can trigger automatic agent top-ups from treasury when agent balances fall below configured thresholds.
