For the identity layer underneath every agent

Agent Identity & Credential Governance

Before you ask whether an agent's output is correct, ask whether the agent itself is a governed, accountable, current identity, not a standing liability nobody's watching.

Six governance patternsVerified against a decision engineWorks on any platformFor any agent, any industry, any stage

Who this pack is for

A security or platform governance lead, an engineering director, or a risk lead accountable for the identities and credentials behind an organisation's agent fleet, not what any individual agent decides, but whether the agent itself is a governed identity rather than a liability.

Governs the identity layer, underneath every agent

Every agent, in every industry, at every lifecycle stage, running any architecture, has an identity and a credential. This pack governs that layer directly.

What's in the pack

All six gates are built so missing or unclear information blocks the result rather than quietly passing it, each tested against every possible input combination. Every worked example follows the same identity, an agent named CodeShip, through six different points of failure, because in practice these gaps compound on the same identity rather than appearing in isolation.

Agent Identity Ownership & Sponsor Assignment

Confirms a named, current, meaningfully accountable sponsor exists for an agent identity, not just a populated field.

Orphaned Agent Credential Detection & Decommissioning

A recurring audit that catches a credential still holding access after its agent, sponsor, or actual use has lapsed.

Standing Access Review Cadence

Confirms an identity’s granted access is actually re-justified on a defined schedule, not just granted once and left in place.

Static Credential / Long-Lived Key Elimination Requirement

Flags an agent authenticating with a static key rather than a short-lived, rotated credential, and whether that gap is being managed.

Runtime Permission Escalation Boundary

Catches an agent whose actual capability has expanded beyond what was approved, whether through a spawned sub-agent, a new tool call, or a silent platform change.

Identity Ownership Single-Source-of-Truth Requirement

Confirms one authoritative record of an identity’s ownership exists and is actually used, rather than fragmented, conflicting records held independently by different teams.

What this pack explicitly does not do

Does not assign an agent's risk tier, Agent Tiering / Inherent Risk Classification does that. Does not decide an agent's revocation conditions for cause, this pack's orphaned-credential pattern is a recurring sweep for identities nobody flagged, a different trigger path. Does not implement credential rotation, access-review tooling, or a service registry itself, each pattern confirms the right mechanism exists and defines what it should do, it doesn't build the mechanism.
