Glossary topic

Agent identity, consent & trust

In a world of many interacting agents, these terms cover how agents prove who they are and get permission. A name service provides trusted agent identities, namespace hijacking shows how an attacker can impersonate a legitimate tool or server, and consent phishing tricks a user into granting an agent authority it should not have. Together they highlight the need to verify identity and intent before trusting an agent.
