Verifiable Agent Identity
A security concept in which an agent cryptographically proves its own identity and scope of permissions, bound to short-lived tokens, workload attestation, or hardware root of trust, so that every invocation can be traced and constrained.

Google's official blog emphasized the necessity of verifiable agent identity and runtime per-call policy enforcement.
Verifiable Agent Identity means that when an agent interacts with downstream services, it can prove its identity and the permission scope granted to it in a cryptographically verifiable way, rather than relying only on static credentials (such as service account keys).
Verifiable identity is typically bound to short-lived tokens, workload attestation (such as SPIFFE/SPIRE SVIDs), or hardware root of trust, so that every call can be traced and constrained.
