Short answer
Agentic tokens are payment card tokens issued specifically to an AI agent, scoped by limits and rules so the agent can pay without exposing the real card number. Controls can restrict spending amounts, merchants, or time periods. They let consumers delegate purchases to agents while card networks and issuers maintain security and traceability.
