Identity & Auditability

Constrained AI agent identities and attributable audit trails for regulated environments. By Koen Van Lysebetten.

Constrained Agent Identities

No agent inherits human privileges. Every agent operates under a narrowly scoped service account.

When agents inherit human user privileges, the blast radius of any failure becomes unlimited. A single hallucination can access every system, every database, every API the human can reach.

  • • Service accounts scoped to minimum required permissions
  • • Cryptographic verification at every service boundary
  • • Read-only access as default; write access requires explicit justification
  • • Agent identity tied to specific tasks, not inherited roles

Regulatory alignment: PDPL/SAMA, GDPR, EU AI Act Article 9

Attributable Actions

Every agent decision is logged with full input context, reasoning trace, and output action. This creates a 100% reversible decision trail.
