Overlaying Governance: A Compositional Authorization Framework for Delegation and Scope in Agentic AI
The paper presents a new compositional authorization framework for managing delegation and scope in agentic AI systems. It highlights the limitations of traditional authorization frameworks in the context of autonomous AI agents. The proposed framework aims to enhance accountability and flexibility in permission management for these advanced systems.
- ▪As AI systems evolve into autonomous agents, traditional authorization frameworks become inadequate.
- ▪The proposed framework introduces new governance primitives essential for managing agentic AI.
- ▪It allows for recursive delegation and dynamic scoping, addressing the shortcomings of existing Identity and Access Management systems.

Traditional authorization and delegation frameworks, built around fixed principals, explicit requests, and static scopes, are insufficient to govern agentic systems.
