Who Should Gate an AI Agent's Irreversible Actions? Agaemon Proposes a Separate Authorization Layer
ChargeDry · reddit · 2026-09-13
As agents gain memory, tool use, API calls and autonomous workflows (e.g. Cloudflare's agents platform), the author argues an overlooked layer remains: who controls irreversible actions like wallet, DeFi or payment operations?
Their project Agaemon's approach:
- The agent decides what it wants to do; Agaemon decides whether it's allowed
- A separate authorization layer checks permissions, whitelisted contracts/addresses, scope match, and what evidence is recorded post-execution
- The execution account stays outside the agent — the goal is autonomy within explicit permissions, policies and conditions, not stopping autonomy
The author invites builders working on agents touching irreversible systems to share what sits between their agent and execution.
