Why this is canonical

'Multi-hop delegation' names the specific trust problem that emerges when agents delegate tasks to sub-agents across trust boundaries: authority must be passed explicitly, scoped appropriately, and constrained to prevent privilege escalation. The .ai TLD marks this as an agent-native security and governance concept.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

Agentic trust and delegation infrastructure
The layer that governs how an agent delegates authority to sub-agents — scope, attenuation, revocation, and chain-of-custody.
Agent security companies, enterprise IAM vendors, agent governance platforms
Capability-based security for agents
Infrastructure implementing capability-based security patterns for agent delegation — ensuring delegated authority cannot exceed the delegating agent's own authority.
Zero-trust vendors, enterprise security architects, capability-security researchers commercializing

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