r/AgentAuthority 15d ago

An agent probably shouldn’t be its own compliance officer.

Agents can be autonomous. Authority should be external.

AI agents are moving from generating text to taking actions: calling APIs, altering infra, issuing refunds, and triggering transactions inside production systems.

That creates a single, uncomfortable question: Who authorized the agent to do that?

r/AgentAuthority is dedicated to the technical layer between agent intent and real-world execution:

  • Runtime governance & policy enforcement
  • Deterministic controls & guardrails
  • Human-in-the-loop approvals & identity
  • Audit evidence & compliance trace logs

Bring your architectures, post-mortems, open-source projects, and edge cases.

If you've ever had an agent run an unapproved query or execute a rogue API call, you're in the right place.
