Sample Authority Surface Map
Illustrative deliverable shape — no scoring logic, thresholds, or internal policy detail.
| Workflow / action | Risk category | Control route | Approval trigger | Evidence | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Issue a customer refund | Money movement | Escalate on anomaly | Refund significantly above normal pattern | Evidence bundle (decision + approval) | High |
| Change a payout destination | Fraud surface | Require approval | Destination differs from enrolled baseline | Evidence bundle (identity + approval) | High |
| Dispatch a production workflow | Operational | Allow with guardrails | Sensitive or critical workflow class | Evidence bundle (decision) | Medium |
| Rotate an API key or webhook | Integration security | Require approval | Endpoint or secret change | Evidence bundle (approval) | Medium |
| Delegate authority to a sub-agent | Authority sprawl | Require approval | Out-of-scope or first-seen delegate | Evidence bundle (identity) | Medium |

The right control for the right action
Different actions deserve different boundaries — we never overclaim a stronger one than fits.
1
Deterministic checks
For actions that can be simulated or replayed.
Where an action's correctness can be verified directly, the strongest boundary is deterministic verification.
2
Evidence-bound receipts
For API, DevOps, and business workflow actions.
Where the goal is accountable evidence, each action produces a replayable record bound to its decision.
3
Human-gated authorization
For high-impact, ambiguous, or irreversible actions.
Where stakes are highest, a named human approves the exact action before it executes.
Choose your first protected workflow
Most teams already know which one they'd start with.
01
Payment or refund workflow
Guard money movement against anomalous value before it settles.
02
Admin / config mutation
Require authorization for production-touching configuration changes.
03
Workflow dispatch or deployment
Govern privileged automation per action, not per standing token.
04
API key / webhook mutation
Block unauthorized integration tampering before it takes effect.
05
Onchain transaction guard
Authorize high-value onchain actions with signed receipts where supported.
06
Agent delegation guard
Bound, provable delegation chains instead of authority sprawl.
