Why this is canonical

'Authority' is a precise and foundational concept — it names the legitimate permission to act, not merely the capability. In agent systems, questions of authority are central: which agent can take which action, under whose delegation, with what scope of power. 'Agentauthority' names the exact layer where these decisions are made, enforced, and audited. On .ai it occupies a primary governance-substrate coordinate in the agent cluster.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

Delegated permission management
The infrastructure layer that grants, scopes, and revokes what autonomous agents are permitted to do on behalf of users or organizations.
Identity and access management (IAM) vendors extending to agent systems
AI governance and policy enforcement
A policy-enforcement layer for agent deployments that must operate within defined authority boundaries across regulated environments.
Enterprise AI governance, regulated-industry deployers

Illustrative, not exhaustive — held as a transferable canonical position, open to the buyer's own use.
