Platform · Authority & delegation

Every action, every principal —
attributed.

Authority and delegation across multi-agent systems. When AI delegates to AI and something breaks, you know whose orders it was following.

What authority means when AI delegates

Service accounts tell you who ran it.
Authority chains tell you whose orders it was following.

Service accounts
Flat identity. No chain of orders.
svc-01
svc-02
svc-03
svc-04
svc-05
Who dispatched? Unknown.

Every principal is anonymous. When something breaks, no way to trace whose orders it was following.

Chain of authority
Every hop attributed. Every scope only tighter.
+scope→ +scope→ +scope→ +scope→ ROOT agent-a agent-b svc-01 drone-2 plc-7 svc-01

Every action traced to the principal who dispatched it. Scopes can only tighten, never loosen. Zero orphans.

Real problems. One pattern.

Healthcare
HITL required

The delegated clinical override

The issue

Physician defers to AI. A sub-agent logs the override via a resident. Adverse event. Who authorized what?

With Veldt

Every order and HITL check signed to the exact principal.

Financial services
Signed at every hop

The rogue sub-agent

The issue

A trading orchestrator delegates to risk-analysis to market-data. Market-data leaks positions. Who dispatched the leak?

With Veldt

Sub-agent misbehavior debits the orchestrator’s trust.

Software engineering
Every hop

The autonomous deploy

The issue

AI deploys a hotfix, delegating test, build, then production-write. Production breaks. Which agent had authority?

With Veldt

Trace points to the principal that authorized the write.

Industrial & OT
Every controller · IEC 62443

The delegated shutdown

The issue

Predictive-maintenance AI delegates shutdown through a PLC to a valve actuator. Wrong line closes. Whose authority?

With Veldt

Every command, from AI to controller to actuator, bound to the principal that issued it.

Government
Chain preserved

The delegated ruling

The issue

Agency AI delegates a benefits ruling. A sub-agent denies. Appeal arrives. On whose authority?

With Veldt

Every review and override signed to the reviewer. Appeal gets a full authority chain.

Insurance
Full chain · ERISA

The delegated denial

The issue

A claims AI dispatches sub-agents for terms, necessity, prior auth. One denies. Six years later, wrongful-denial suit. Which sub-agent, on whose orders?

With Veldt

Every dispatch and override bound to its principal.

Cybersecurity
Every escalation

The silent escalation

The issue

SOC agent delegates “verify,” then “contain.” Containment agent silently escalates to purge logs. Who authorized what?

With Veldt

Every escalation tied to the principal that granted it.

Legal & e-Discovery
Chain of custody

The delegated review

The issue

AI drafts, delegates review to paralegal-AI, negotiation to another. Missed clause becomes a dispute. Whose review approved final terms?

With Veldt

Every sign-off bound to its principal. Judge gets a verifiable chain.

How it works

Three moving parts. One outcome.

01 · The schema

Every actor — one schema

Humans, agents, service accounts, robots, sensors. One schema.

You get: One accountability language
02 · The delegation

When a sub-agent goes wrong, the dispatcher pays

Every delegation signed. Misbehavior debits the principal that dispatched it.

You get: Blame follows orders
03 · The composition

Every policy layer can tighten, never loosen

CISO policy, regulator pack, tenant override, stacked. No layer loosens.

You get: No accidental weakening
The authority surface

What Veldt ships.

Unified principal schema
Humans, agents, machines — one trust score.
Delegation attribution
Blame flows to the dispatcher.
Only-tighten composition
Policies tighten, never loosen.
Principal graph
Every dispatch signed and traversable.
Portable trust
Authority travels across tenants, systems, and time.
End-to-end decision lineage
Every signed action traces across every hop in a delegation chain. Investigator paste-and-go.

Prove your authority chain on your data.

Bring a real delegation topology. Thirty minutes, hop by hop.
