本文针对企业部署自主AI代理时遇到的控制模型不匹配问题，提出了五种运行时治理原语，并通过实现这些原语来解决身份、治理等问题。
📝 Abstract
Enterprise deployments of autonomous AI agents inherit a control model built for human users and long-lived services, and the fit fails in three specific ways: agent principals are ephemeral, appearing and vanishing faster than provisioning; their actions are selected by a model rather than programmed, so the set of things they may attempt is not known in advance; and the population is discovered rather than provisioned, because anyone who can call an API can create one. We argue that governing such agents is a runtime problem -- not a model-alignment problem and not a build-time problem -- and we derive five primitives from the questions that must be answered before an action takes effect and after it has: discovery, identity, governance, attestation, and supply chain. For each we state what fails if it is absent and why the others cannot structurally supply it. We describe an implementation in which an agent's action is mediated against policy before it takes effect, authorised against a per-tenant action vocabulary, and recorded in a hash-linked signed ledger a third party can verify with the vendor out of the loop. We report what the architecture costs: the enforcement point sits on the request's critical path, identity requires a sidecar per workload, and fail-closed mediation converts availability incidents into denial. We are explicit about implementation status: four primitives are built and running in private pilots, and the fifth is built as separate tooling and not yet integrated into the request path. We keep it in the set deliberately: a five-part decomposition that exactly matches what its authors happened to build is not a taxonomy but a description of a codebase.
