Could you build this?
Partial While basic API key scopes and approval dashboards can be vibe coded, building a formal cryptographically verifiable identity and deterministic policy enforcement runtime for autonomous agents requires solid distributed systems and security engineering.
What it would actually take: A production implementation requires a policy engine (such as Open Policy Agent / Rego or Cedar), public-key infrastructure (PKI) with decentralized identifiers (DIDs) or signed JWT/macaroon capabilities for delegation, and tamper-evident audit logs. The system needs formal verification or rigorous sandboxing to ensure deterministic permission evaluation before an agent executes arbitrary actions.
