Audit export client: quota and metering

How should quota and metering work for an audit export client?

Quota and metering guide for Audit export client, with required inputs, ordered checks, refusal conditions, outputs, source roles, and an explicit authority boundary.

Bounded answer

Meter Audit export client against a server-defined unit and the exact principal, offer, request digest, and period. Reserve before work, settle from observed use, and make exact replays idempotent.

This guide defines a request-control procedure. It is not evidence that an integration executed, a credential was entitled, or a delivery succeeded.

Input contract

What must be fixed first

Authenticated principal and tenant

Exact resource, tool, method, and endpoint

Active entitlement with scope and expiry

Replay-safe request identifier and content digest

Procedure

Work the decision in order

  1. 1

    Resolve the credential to one active principal.

  2. 2

    Bind the exact Audit export client selector and requested capability.

  3. 3

    Evaluate entitlement, quota, expiry, and revocation.

  4. 4

    Perform only the bounded operation or return a reason-coded refusal.

  5. 5

    Commit metering and a digest-bound receipt atomically.

  6. 6

    Acknowledge only the exact receipt produced by this lifecycle.

Expected outputs

  • Reason-coded allow or refuse decision
  • Bounded result or delivery reference
  • Metering and lifecycle receipt

Refuse when

  • Identity, endpoint, selector, or digest is missing or substituted.
  • The grant is absent, expired, revoked, exhausted, or broader than the request.
  • A replay carries different content or lifecycle state.

Subject-specific decision record

What a complete answer would require

Minimum evidence
Authenticated principal and tenant; Exact resource, tool, method, and endpoint; Active entitlement with scope and expiry; Replay-safe request identifier and content digest.
Pass condition
Return reason-coded allow or refuse decision, bounded result or delivery reference, metering and lifecycle receipt only after every required input and ordered check is satisfied.
Current result
No subject-specific result has been produced by this method guide.
