Use machine authority where capability alone is not enough.

An agent can call a tool, but its prompt context does not prove current authority for the requested consequence.

Require an exact proposal, human ratification where required, a bounded grant, and a target-side fence decision.

Change configuration, create a record, or invoke a consequential tool only after receipted ALLOW.

A long-running workflow may outlive the approval, policy, membership, or grant state that originally started it.

Resolve current authority again at the moment the workflow reaches each protected side effect.

Issue a bounded refund, approve a supplier action, or release a downstream process under current scope.

Deployment credentials often permit far more than the exact change a machine was asked to perform.

Bind actor, environment, target, action, policy digest, validity window, and nonce before local execution.

Apply a named configuration to one environment without converting the credential into blanket authority.

An audit trail that records only the final API call cannot show who approved it or why authority was current.

Preserve the human decision, exact grant, fence result, completion evidence, revocation, and reconstruction.

Maintain a challengeable authority record for consequential changes to governed data or systems.

A connector can expose capability without defining who may use it, for which target, purpose, or time.

Add MCPaios as the authority plane while retaining the existing agent framework, tool protocol, and target runtime.

Integrate machine authority without introducing a generic hosted execution endpoint.
