Section 44

Agent Authority Model

The following distinction is permanent:

IDENTITY ≠ AUTHORITY ≠ OWNERSHIP

An agent can have an on-chain identity without owning assets.

An agent can have temporary authority without ownership.

Agent authority is bounded by the Permission Manager and Automation Session.

An agent can never:

  • Grant itself authority
  • Increase its permissions
  • Extend its authorization
  • Bypass policy
  • Bypass risk
  • Acquire ownership of user assets
  • Execute outside its authorized scope
