Junction 2026 · Valio Aimo: Trusted Trade Agents
An agent that orders for your kitchen, only inside the limits you set.
Mandate plans a kitchen's order from Valio Aimo's catalogue, finds substitutes when products run out, and orders on its own only within the chef's mandate. Everything else waits for a person, with the reason.
Every visitor gets a private sandbox. Nothing is sent to Valio.
Christmas buffet, 140 guestsSaturday
Whole ham is out. Ordered HK Palvikinkku instead.
Same use, Valio states stock for it, and it fits the weekly cap.
Within the mandateA substitute changes the allergens.
The chef never delegates allergen changes, so it waits for a person.
Needs your approvalAn extra order would pass the hard limit.
No approval can lift it, even if the order is split.
RefusedAn illustration of the three outcomes. Product names come from Valio's challenge data.
A mandate the agent can't talk its way around
The limits are data, checked in code at the moment of ordering, the same way for the kitchen screen, the built-in agent and any outside agent.
Approval covers exact terms
If the price or the quantity changes after approval, the approval is void and the screen shows what changed.
No double orders
A retried order returns the same receipt. Products whose supply Valio doesn't state are labelled unknown, never counted as covered.
Bring your own agent
Mandate is an open gate, not a closed app. Your agent gets the same tools over MCP and REST as ours, inside your own sandbox. It can plan and order within the mandate. It can never approve.
Get a key. Open app.mandate.kitchen/agents to mint one for your sandbox.
Connect. Point any MCP client at
https://app.mandate.kitchen/mcp/k/<key>.Start. Call
get_context, then ask it to plan the buffet. Try asking it to approve.
What's real, what's simulated
Labelled on every screen, too.
- RealValio Aimo's catalogue, and live price and availability calls for shortlisted products, cached with the time fetched.
- SimulatedThe booking, the clock, stock on hand, recipes, and the order itself. Valio's API has no order endpoint, so nothing is sent to Valio.
- ModelsGemini parses requests and ranks substitutes. Every check that decides what may be ordered runs in plain code.
