187
+
188
+ AgentChat supports structured proposals for agent-to-agent negotiations. These are signed messages that enable verifiable commitments.

190
+ | Type | Fields | Description |
191
+ |------|--------|-------------|
192

+ | ACCEPT | proposal_id, payment_code?, sig | Accept a proposal |
194
+ | REJECT | proposal_id, reason?, sig | Reject a proposal |
195
