Watch one agent decision pass identity and intent, then stop at authority.
Pick your industry and a use case. You will see a real-world request, what each layer checks, what each layer cannot see, and where the accountable human comes back in.
Where authority governance applies
From cumulative financial controls to operational risk
Each agent action can be permitted on its own. These are the areas where actions together can exceed what the organization authorized.
Cumulative financial exposure
Payments, refunds, credits, and purchases that are each within limits but together exceed what the business allows in a day, a period, or a budget.
Sensitive data use and transfer
Agents reading, summarizing, or sending regulated data. Authority sets which data may leave a system, a region, or the organization, and under what conditions.
Delegated agent work
An agent hands part of a task to another agent or tool. Delegated authority can only narrow, never widen, and the chain stays traceable to a person.
Operational change limits
Configuration changes, deployments, and access changes. Limits on scope, timing, and volume, with exceptions routed to an authorized approver.
Scenarios in the explorer below are hypothetical and illustrative, not live deployments.
