Who Has Authority When AI Agents Cross Multiple Systems?
FactivalUniverse · reddit · 2026-09-01
This post explores the governance challenges of AI agents operating across multiple systems (e.g., IdP, CRM, APIs). While component-level permissions are common, cross-system workflows introduce complex questions: does authority carry over? How are mid-workflow policy changes handled? The author suggests governance should focus on the "transaction chain" as a whole, potentially blocking sequences that are risky even if individual steps are authorized.
