Delegation & Multi-Agent

Delegation Chain

The sequential sequence of agent-to-agent delegation steps originating from a human trigger or primary orchestrator down to terminal subagents.

Deep Category Explanation

A delegation chain tracks how intent and authority are transmitted across multi-agent hierarchies (e.g. Human -> Manager Agent -> Specialist Agent -> Tool Executor).

Enterprise Operational Example

EnterpriseACP detects a 4-step delegation chain and enforces that permissions decay at each step down the chain.

Why It Matters for Enterprise Governance

Ensures complete lineage visibility and prevents untracked sub-delegations.

How EnterpriseACP Handles Delegation Chain

EnterpriseACP logs delegation chains in Decision Receipts and visualizes them in the Authority Graph.
