UnverifiedRegistration friction (OAuth authorization, account creation, email verification, etc.) is a major barrier to the adoption rate of Agent-facing services, and any authorization step requiring human intervention will interrupt the automation chain.64% similarUnverifiedUnder the RFC 8693 framework, if Agent B wants to perform operations on behalf of Agent A, it needs to request a token exchange from the authorization server and obtain a new token explicitly marked as representing A, with a permission scope of X and a validity period of Y, and the receiving Agent C can inspect this token to confirm that the delegation chain is complete and the permissions do not exceed bounds.64% similarUnverifiedPackaging an Agent as an OCI artifact enables traceability (explicit version numbers and content hashes), tamper resistance (signing mechanism), auditability (verification before loading), and consistency (immutable artifacts).61% similarUnverifiedOAuth's design premise is that a human user actively initiates authorization; when an agent acts as a continuously running automated entity taking repeated actions, external services find it difficult to distinguish whether the token holder is an agent or the user themselves.60% similarUnverifiedOkta recently launched an Agent SSO feature to address federated authentication between agents across identity domains.56% similar
