Passports

Issue, retrieve, revoke, and list AgentPassportCredentials for MPP agent identity.

The passports client manages AgentPassportCredentials — W3C VC 2.0 credentials that bind agent identity, human delegation, and spending limits for machine payment flows.

Access the passports client via client.passports.
