Agent Authority & Delegation
Who an Agent acts for, where its authority came from, whether it can hand that authority to another Agent, and how much of its internal state a verifier may demand. AADP separates principal from actor, bounds delegation to strictly narrow (never silently widen), and treats inspection as a bounded right, not an unlimited one.
Dipotšišo tše di Nyakišišwago
01
Principal ≠ actor: an Agent acting for you is not you
02
Delegation chains that can only narrow, never silently widen, relative to their parent
03
Authentication does not imply unlimited inspection of memory, private, or third-party state
04
Machine-native identity — Agents should not be forced to impersonate human accounts
