FIRST PUBLIC USE
March 20, 2026
- What it is
- A decision, made before an agent operates, by a named person with the standing to make it, that this identified agent may act for a stated purpose within defined permissions, prohibitions, and review conditions.
- What it is not
- Not an identity, not a licence, not a connector consent, not a deployment. Each of those is something the organization did. This is something the organization decided.
- The evidence it produces
- A dated record bound to the agent's stable technical identifier, signed before the agent went to production.
- Who is accountable
- The approving authority for the decision itself, with the business owner and the technical operator accountable only for the parts of the record assigned to them by name.
- The examination question it answers
- What decision allowed this agent to begin operating, and who had the authority to make it?
