Vault
Manage credit pools, wallets, payments, transactions, and withdrawals using the VaultResource.
The VaultResource handles all financial operations -- credit pools, payment methods, agent wallets, budgets, transfers, transactions, withdrawals, and Stripe Connect onboarding. Access it via city.vault.
All monetary amounts in the Vault are in cents (e.g., 500 = $5.00, 10000 = $100.00). This applies to every parameter and return value that represents money.
