FIRST PUBLIC USE
March 20, 2026
- What it is
- The condition in which each agent in a multi-agent chain is individually approved, no one approved the chain, and the original approval travels the whole length unrevisited.
- What it is not
- Not a permissions failure. Every hop is permitted. The aggregate authority is what no one granted.
- The evidence it produces
- A chain-level record produced before the chain runs, answering origin, authority, delegation, and effect boundary, with the trigger list that reopens it.
- Who is accountable
- The authority over the business process the chain executes, not the owner of any single agent in it.
- The examination question it answers
- Who approved what these agents can do together, as opposed to separately?
