A person must sign up by email and create a passkey before an agent can pay. No published fee rate, OpenAPI file or Passport status page was found.\n\n**Turnkey Agentic Wallets.** An agent gets a non-root user that can sign nothing until a policy allows it, with DENY rules taking precedence and human co-approval available. Policies cap value per transaction only, with no daily or rolling limit found, and each organisation gets five policies below Enterprise. Signing endpoints returned elevated errors for five hours on 27 August 2026.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Kite Agent Passport\n\n1. Run `kpass` with `--output json --no-interactive` and branch on the exit code and `error_code`. Exit 6 is a session policy breach, so request a new session rather than logging in again\n2. Pass `--idempotency-key` on every `kpass session execute` so a retry after a timeout does not pay twice\n3. Ask the person for a session with a small per-transaction cap and a short `--ttl`, and confirm the merchant URL before executing\n4. Use `kpass sandbox` test mode and the faucet to try a payment flow without real funds. Scoped cards are not available in sandbox\n5. Check the kite-passport skill's trigger rules before installing it, since it directs the agent to paid services ahead of free tools\n\n### Turnkey Agentic Wallets\n\n1. Use a non-root user's key. Refuse root credentials for unattended work, because root bypasses every policy\n2. Scope every signing ALLOW policy by `wallet.id` or `wallet_account.address`, or it covers every key the user can reach\n3. Check the activity status on each response. `ACTIVITY_STATUS_CONSENSUS_NEEDED` means a person must approve within 24 hours\n4. Retry with the identical body to stay idempotent. Changing `timestampMs` creates a new activity\n5. Back off with jitter on 429 and poll `get_activity` sparingly, since polling counts against the same 1 to 3 requests a second\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Kite Agent Passport or Turnkey Agentic Wallets?\n\nTurnkey Agentic Wallets scores 76 (BB) on agent readiness against Kite Agent Passport's 51.5 (D), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Can an agent call Kite Agent Passport and Turnkey Agentic Wallets without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for Kite Agent Passport.
