## Plain English

Software may need doors for agents, not just screens for humans.

## Example

A SaaS app exposes well-scoped agent actions and audit logs so approved agents can complete tasks safely.

## Why it matters

If agents become common operators, product interfaces, APIs, and business models will change.
