Agent controls arrive in November
The announcement centers on Agent Profiles, which will separate purchases made by an AI agent from a customer's own orders. Walmart said customers can require approval for every purchase or set a spending limit of USD 50, USD 100 or USD 200, while the Agent Gateway will begin with a beta for companies and developers.
Retail Dive reported on October 22, 2026, that the gateway uses the open Model Context Protocol and is designed to connect external AI systems with Walmart services. The commercial test is clear: Walmart is trying to make third-party agents another route into its marketplace while keeping purchase approval with the customer.
