Agent Identity
A way to identify an AI agent as an actor with its own metadata, credentials, permissions, and delegation record.
Plain English
The system should know which agent acted, not just which human account or API key was nearby.
Example
A deployment agent has a short-lived identity bound to one repository, one task, and one approval chain.
Why it matters
Agent identity is becoming necessary for authorization, audit logs, revocation, and agent-to-agent delegation.
