AI Agent Delegation Framework

Type: Framework specification

Priority: 🟣 Phase 3 (Months 12–18)

---

Purpose

Define patterns for AI agents with delegated AIDs operating across ecosystems.

Outline

Contract Execution Demos

• AI agent negotiates within parameters
• Signs binding agreements
• Executes conditional logic
• Handles exceptions appropriately

Delegation Scope and Revocation Patterns

Scope Definition

• Action types (read, write, sign, transfer)
• Value limits (max transaction size)
• Time bounds (expires after X)
• Counterparty restrictions (only interact with Y)

Revocation Mechanisms

• Immediate revocation
• Graceful wind-down
• Emergency stop
• Audit on revocation

Cross-Ecosystem AI Agent Interoperability

• Agent discovers new ecosystem via OOBI
• Reads ecosystem’s schemas
• Adapts to local requirements
• Maintains delegation constraints

Audit Trails for AI Actions

• Every action signed and logged
• Delegation chain always visible
• Principal always identifiable
• Replay possible for dispute resolution

Framework Components

Delegation Credential

• Principal AID
• Agent AID
• Scope definition
• Validity period
• Revocation conditions

Action Log

• Timestamp
• Action type
• Counterparty
• Outcome
• Delegation reference

Compliance Check

• Is action within scope?
• Is delegation still valid?
• Are all prerequisites met?
• Is audit trail complete?
