Agent Card issues one-time Visa cards for agents

Hot take: this is one of the more sensible ways to let agents spend money because it scopes risk to a single purchase instead of handing an agent an open-ended card.

• –Strong fit for agentic commerce: one-time cards map well to the “approve the action, not the whole account” model.
• –The safety story is the main differentiator: auto-cancel after one payment is much easier to trust than a general-purpose card.
• –Best use cases are low-friction purchases like domains, SaaS subscriptions, API credits, and one-off operational spend.
• –The main question is operational coverage: card issuance is easy to demo, but reliability, controls, fraud handling, and compliance will matter more as usage grows.
• –The MCP/CLI/API angle is smart because it makes the product usable inside existing agent stacks instead of requiring a new workflow.
