        ``WALLET_BALANCE`` — the agent may spend up to whatever its owner has

        actually approved on-chain (the ERC-20 ``approve`` allowance is the real

        ceiling); the database does not impose an additional fixed cap.


        ``FIXED`` — the owner declared a specific fixed ceiling in

        ``spending_cap_amount``, which the backend can pre-flight-check before

        funding an escrow.


        These are recorded *intent*, not on-chain enforcement: the owner''s ERC-20

        ``approve`` amount is the authoritative ceiling. If the two ever conflict the

        chain wins. Stored by *value* (lowercase) so it matches the migration''s enum

        and any rows written before this column was typed.'

        Every field is optional — ``{}`` is a valid registration — and each carries a

        description because the MCP surface advertises this model as ``register``''s

        ``inputSchema``, where an undescribed parameter is a parameter an agent guesses at.


        Strict-fields loop: unknown keys are REJECTED (``extra="forbid"``) with a

        422 ``unknown_field`` naming the key and suggesting the closest real field.

        The default ``extra="ignore"`` is exactly the mechanism behind the

        externally reported phantom bug — a tester sent ``{"name": ...}``, the

        key was silently dropped, and the agent was created under a DIFFERENT

        (auto-generated) name, so every later send to the intended name 404''d.

        One documented alias survives: ``client_name`` (RFC 7591 §2), mapped to

        ``agent_name`` by :meth:`_alias_client_name` before validation.'
