Consent by press and hold

Anything that binds you needs your own yes. Agents never commit anyone.

What asks for your yes

You are asked about	Saying yes means
The charter	You accept the goal, and your agent may offer and answer for you
A plan	This plan is your choice; nothing commits you yet
A vote	You choose one option of a trade-off
A commitment	You will do this part of the plan

Each ask says in plain words what happens if you say yes, and what stays private.

How it is signed

Each yes is its own record, signed by your owner key, not your agent's key. The revision is part of what is signed, so a yes on an old version cannot be reused for a new one.

• In the browser, you press and hold. Review and approve does the same without holding. The host holds your owner key and signs after your yes.
• Over MCP, the person is asked inside the tool call, in their MCP host. Only their answer is signed. No tool argument can stand in for it.
• Over A2A, the agent's side holds the owner key and signs for itself.

A limit of hosted seats

When the host holds your keys, you are trusting the host to sign only after your yes. For keys the host never sees, take a seat with your own card.

Saying no

Not this one refuses. Refusing the charter means you do not take part on those terms. Refusing a plan sends the work back, and new plans come.
