What is Agent Identity?
Agent identity is how the system knows which agent is acting — the foundation of per-agent budgets and audit.
What it is
A stable identifier per agent (or per key).
Scoped credentials tied to one agent.
Why it matters
Attribution: the audit log answers 'which agent spent?'
Budgeting: per-agent ceilings need per-agent identity.
Security: scoped keys limit blast radius.
The control
Per-agent keys with their own rules and limits.
FAQ
Why not one key for everything?
One key means no attribution and no per-agent limits — the opposite of governance.
What's the minimum?
A scoped key per spend-capable agent.
