Decision API Design for Oracle Wallets: Policies Before Execution
Design a decision API that separates evidence, policy, authorization, and execution, with explicit limits and useful failure states.
Make inputs, permissions, and failure behavior explicit.
Smart-contract integrations are easier to assess when the data they consume and the authority they exercise are stated plainly. These guides cover feed checks, signed decision objects, and the key-management context around execution. The emphasis is on reviewable requirements: what must be true before an action, and what should happen when that condition cannot be established.
Start with a concrete operation rather than a general security label. Identify the expected input, the allowed caller, the destination, and the intended state change. Decide which checks belong in the receiving contract and which belong in a separate approval process. Use the articles as prompts for that design discussion, then review the documentation for the actual implementation you intend to use.

Design a decision API that separates evidence, policy, authorization, and execution, with explicit limits and useful failure states.

Review oracle inputs as complete observations: identity, denomination, scale, time, acceptable bounds, and a defined response to failure.
