Could you build this?
Partial Agent identity and delegation protocols require cryptographic key management, verifiable credentials/capabilities (e.g., UCANs, DIDs, or OAuth mTLS), and rigorous security review to prevent privilege escalation.
What it would actually take: A production implementation requires a cryptographic delegation engine (such as Macaroons or UCANs), secure enclave/KMS key handling, token attenuation logic, and distributed trust registries. The hardest parts are preventing replay and confused deputy attacks across heterogeneous autonomous tool execution chains. Deep applied cryptography and distributed systems security expertise are essential.
