## Facts

- Kind: Platform · vendor: Kite AI · category: Agent wallets & spending controls · legal entity: Datalego Inc. · provenance 65/100
- Local only (HTTP)
- Auth: OAuth or key · pricing: Pay per use · x402: payer tooling only · licence: Closed service under terms from Datalego Inc. dated 29 April 2026. The Passport Skills repository is MIT. The kpass CLI is distributed as binaries and its source repository is private.
- Probe metrics: not measured yet (probes haven't run)
- Surface graded: The kpass and ksearch CLIs, the Passport Skills bundle and the Passport dashboard at agentpassport.ai, read from Kite's docs, changelog, installer manifest and the public skills repository on 10 October 2026. No account was created and no payment was made.
- Spending sessions: `kpass agent:session create` takes `--max-amount-per-tx`, `--max-total-amount`, `--ttl` and a task summary. Caps are in USD since backend v1.3.0 (4 June 2026), and the merchant picks the settlement stablecoin. Session budgets can be edited on the dashboard.
- Policy errors: Exit code 6 with `error_code` values such as `session_rule_exceeded`, `session_total_exceeded`, `session_endpoint_forbidden`, `payment_target_forbidden` and `payment_redirect_not_allowed`.
- Payment protocols: x402 (scheme `gokite-aa` on Kite chain in the docs' example) and MPP, paid as a buyer. Scoped virtual cards (`--use-card`) for card-only merchants after a KYC check, not in sandbox.
- Chains: USDC on Kite chain for funding, with settlement on Base since 8 July 2026, routing across Base, Tempo and Solana, and USDG on Robinhood Chain since 22 July 2026.
- Funding: Card, debit or ACH through Banxa with an ID check, Halliday deposits, or a bridge from another chain through bridge.gokite.ai.
- Audit and recovery: `GET /v1/security/stepup-log` and `GET /v1/security/login-log` back the dashboard's security page. Lost-passkey recovery waits 72 hours in production and sends a cancel link by email.
- Discovery: `ksearch services list` searches the paid-services catalogue by query, payment approach and asset with a `--limit`. The home page says the catalogue spans 2,000 or more services (vendor claim).
- Release cadence: The docs changelog lists weekly releases from 19 May to 29 July 2026. CLI bundle 83 (kpass 6.8.0) was built on 7 October 2026 and Passport Skills v3.5.0 tagged the same day.

- Why: Reliability, Graded as a hosted service, the Passport backend behind the kpass CLI, skills and dashboard. · Schema & documentation, The API reference page is a placeholder that says the OpenAPI spec is not yet published. · Agent ergonomics, The CLI returns JSON with `--output json`, and the skills load one per task, but the 26 skill files total about 6,900 lines and the router s… · Security & auth, A person logs in with an emailed code and approves with a device passkey. · Payments & pricing, Payment platforms and wallets take the highest step that applies on the 40-point protocol line. · Maintenance & community, CLI bundle 83 with kpass 6.8.0 was built on 7 October 2026 and Passport Skills v3.5.0 tagged the same day, 3 days before this check (30). · Transparency & trust, A closed service under terms from Datalego Inc.

## Before you call it

1. 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
2. Pass `--idempotency-key` on every `kpass session execute` so a retry after a timeout does not pay twice
3. Ask the person for a session with a small per-transaction cap and a short `--ttl`, and confirm the merchant URL before executing
4. Use `kpass sandbox` test mode and the faucet to try a payment flow without real funds. Scoped cards are not available in sandbox
5. Check the kite-passport skill's trigger rules before installing it, since it directs the agent to paid services ahead of free tools
