How will autonomous agent-to-agent interactions be governed?

Answer

Agent-to-agent governance requires new primitives:

1. Delegation contracts — formal specifications of what a delegating agent authorizes.
2. Trust chains — cryptographic verification that each agent is authorized by the one above it.
3. Blast radius limits — automatic scope restriction based on delegation depth.
4. Cross-org governance — when agents from different organizations interact, whose rules apply? Both, with the more restrictive taking precedence.
5. Economic controls — spending limits and cost attribution across agent chains. This is largely unsolved today and represents the next major challenge.
