The Agent's Permission Moved Into the Runtime
A governance paper derives five controls for ephemeral, model-directed agents and reports four running in private pilots.
Summary
A governance paper derives five controls for ephemeral, model-directed agents and reports four running in private pilots.
The proposed primitives are discovery, identity, governance, attestation and supply chain. The implementation mediates actions before execution, authorizes them against a tenant vocabulary and records them in a signed hash-linked ledger. Its authors also name the costs: enforcement sits on the critical path, identity needs a workload sidecar and fail-closed mediation converts outages into denial. Four primitives are in private pilots; the fifth remains separate tooling.
Why it matters
