THE ACTORS
SECTION 02
ISSUE 001
Permissioned Tool Calls
Projection: Consequential tool use will require authorization at the moment of action, scoped to the requested effect, instead of one blanket grant at login. Platforms and governance guidance establish the ingredients. Production systems must separately evaluate authority for each sensitive call before the architecture can be considered established.
Why this idea is here
What the evidence establishes.
Source-backed premise: the cited captures establish tool-use platforms and agent-governance requirements. Editorial projection: Authorization should be evaluated at each consequential action, not granted once at agent login. The sources do not prove that outcome; the observable adoption test is whether production systems evaluate authority separately for each consequential tool action.
