Protocols (such as extensions of OAuth 2.0 / OpenID for Verifiable Presentations, or specs like User-Managed Access)
OAuth 2.0 token exchange, Rich Authorization Requests (RAR), policy engines, and proof-of-possession mechanisms can provide this enforcement layer.
Excerpts where OAuth appeared in the AI's answer
OAuth 2.0 Token Exchange (RFC 8693) : Instead of letting an agent reuse a human user's broad access token
OAuth 2.0 delegated access / On-Behalf-Of (OBO): gives the agent a token representing the user and the permissions they delegated

Excerpts where OAuth appeared in the AI's answer
a good concrete stack is OIDC/OAuth + workload identity + OAuth token exchange + a tool/MCP gateway + policy engine + short-lived credentials.
If you're implementing this around MCP, OAuth/OIDC, Kubernetes workload identity, AWS/GCP/Azure, or a custom agent framework
Excerpts where OAuth appeared in the AI's answer
agents operate as confidential clients using strict OAuth 2.0 client credentials grants
Protocols like OAuth 2.0 Token Exchange (RFC 8693 ) and transaction tokens allow an agent to trade a human's delegated context for a tightly scoped, time-bound access token
Excerpts where OAuth appeared in the AI's answer
Use standard delegation frameworks (like OAuth 2.0 Token Exchange or specialized capability tokens)
