Delegated agents

Issue revocable, policy-bound authority to agents without sharing a user's wallet credential or broad signing power.

Delegated agents

Use the policies and mandates guide for the operation shape, then review shopping agents for a product example. Give each agent an independent subject and signing lane.

Grant narrow authority

  1. Authenticate the owner with fresh user presence.
  2. Describe allowed operations, targets, budgets, expiry, revocation, and human-approval rules in plain language and typed policy data.
  3. Use an independent agent identity and verify the grant receipt.
  4. Route each agent operation through the same admission and audit boundary as normal signing.

Never copy a user's passkey, session token, private key, or unrestricted API credential into an agent. The owner wallet remains the payer; the agent's identity proves who requested the operation. Revoke a compromised agent lane independently from the owner wallet.

Read delegated agents for the security model.
