Lifecycle & Runtime

Runtime Authority Lease

A short-lived, cryptographically signed token granting an AI agent permission to perform specific actions for a bounded timeframe and scope.

Deep Category Explanation

Rather than issuing standing credentials, EnterpriseACP issues time-bound leases (e.g., valid for 5 minutes or 1 execution cycle) that automatically expire unless renewed.

Enterprise Operational Example

An agent requesting to update a database record receives a 2-minute lease tied specifically to target Record ID #88102.

Why It Matters for Enterprise Governance

Eliminates persistent standing access and reduces the window of opportunity for hijacked or compromised agents.

How EnterpriseACP Handles Runtime Authority Lease

EnterpriseACP issues short-lived leases signed by its internal Authority Engine.
