Short answer
Verifiable intent is a signed, checkable record of what a person authorized an AI agent to buy, including conditions such as spending limits and allowed merchants. Merchants, payment networks, and issuers can confirm a purchase matches the user's instructions. It supports trust, dispute resolution, and fraud prevention in agent-driven commerce.
