Authorization runtime infrastructure for agents
Authorization breaks the moment agents start delegating work.
IntentGraph makes authorization provable at execution, across autonomous delegation.
Runtime model
Bind
01Capture the originating identity and intent at the moment work is created, establishing a canonical context that cannot drift.
Propagate
02Preserve authorization context across delegation chains, queues, tools, and service boundaries without losing lineage.
Retrieve
03Recover the canonical context at the enforcement edge so policy evaluates the original user’s permissions, not those of a system acting on their behalf.
Why this matters
Authorization no longer follows execution.
Most policy infrastructure assumes continuity between the user who initiates work and the system that executes it.
Agent workflows break that continuity. As requests move across tools, queues, and delegated workers, identity can drift away from the originating user context that policy depends on.
The identity and intent of the originating user are lost in execution.
01 Execution crosses boundaries
Agents decompose and delegate request data by design.
02 Context is lost
The correlation between initial request and execution breaks.
03 Policy assumes continuity
Authorization requires evaluation at execution.
04 Agents violate that assumption
Your IdP and authorization engine are no longer connected.
No tradeoffs
Governance without constraining agent autonomy.
In production systems, blocking the wrong action disrupts business, while not blocking creates risk.
You shouldn’t need to understand how agents work to protect your assets.
IntentGraph ensures the authorization context at execution is that of the original user.You don’t need to assign identities and permissions to agents.Enforcement remains within your IdP and authorization engine.
