EG-AGENT-002 Agent Capability Governance Requirements

11/11 Agent Governance Standards Initiative

Version: Draft v0.1

Classification: Agent Capability Governance Specification

Specification Family: Autonomous Runtime Governance Standards

Abstract

EG-AGENT-002 defines agent capability governance requirements for regulated AI and orchestration infrastructure environments.

The specification establishes mandatory capability governance controls including deterministic capability validation, fail-closed runtime enforcement, cryptographic authorization continuity, immutable execution synchronization, distributed telemetry propagation, and governance consistency across autonomous runtime systems.

The framework positions agent capability governance as a deterministic runtime authorization layer rather than a permissive autonomous execution model.

1. Agent Capability Governance Principle

Governed autonomous systems MUST maintain deterministic capability authorization continuity.

Governed runtime environments SHALL enforce:

• capability authorization continuity• runtime governance synchronization• cryptographic capability validation• immutable execution continuity• distributed telemetry synchronization• fail-closed runtime protections

Any unverifiable capability condition SHALL trigger deterministic containment protections.

2. Capability Governance Coordination Requirements

Governed runtime environments SHALL maintain capability coordination systems responsible for:

• capability synchronization propagation• runtime telemetry continuity• governance routing coordination• distributed execution consistency• immutable audit continuity• cross-domain synchronization integrity

Capability coordination SHALL remain synchronized across all runtime systems.

3. Deterministic Capability Validation

Execution governance systems SHALL validate:

1. Agent Capability Authorization

2. Governance Policy Synchronization

3. Runtime Integrity Verification

4. Capability Scope Continuity

5. Cryptographic Authorization Validation

6. Immutable Audit Synchronization

7. Distributed Runtime Consistency

8. Execution Lineage Continuity

Validation failures SHALL trigger fail-closed protections.

4. Fail-Closed Capability Enforcement

Governed runtime environments MUST operate under deterministic fail-closed protections.

Failure conditions SHALL trigger containment including:

• capability authorization interruption• runtime governance mismatch• cryptographic verification failure• immutable audit discontinuity• distributed coordination inconsistency• unauthorized capability escalation• runtime state divergence• unverifiable capability transitions

Execution MUST default to containment during capability uncertainty.

5. Cryptographic Capability Verification

Governed execution systems SHALL implement cryptographic capability verification supporting:

• signed authorization decisions• runtime integrity verification• immutable proof continuity• distributed trust synchronization• governance evidence propagation• audit authenticity validation

Cryptographic verification SHALL remain continuous during runtime propagation.

6. Immutable Runtime Continuity

Execution governance environments SHALL maintain immutable runtime continuity supporting:

• tamper-evident capability records• immutable synchronization continuity• distributed runtime replication• telemetry continuity synchronization• audit persistence continuity• governance evidence traceability

Runtime continuity SHALL remain immutable and verifiable across distributed runtime systems.

7. Distributed Runtime Synchronization

Distributed runtime governance systems SHALL synchronize:

• capability continuity propagation• runtime telemetry synchronization• distributed execution consistency• cryptographic synchronization continuity• immutable audit persistence• runtime governance integrity

Desynchronization SHALL trigger deterministic containment protections.

8. Capability Governance Traceability

Governed execution environments SHALL maintain deterministic traceability including:

• capability lifecycle records• governance synchronization telemetry• orchestration routing references• cryptographic proof references• immutable audit records• distributed coordination metadata• execution continuity records

Traceability SHALL remain continuously available for verification and audit inspection.

9. Agent Capability Governance Lifecycle Flow

1. Agent Initialization

2. Capability Authorization Validation

3. Governance Coordination Inspection

4. Runtime Integrity Verification

5. Cryptographic Capability Validation

6. Telemetry Synchronization Validation

7. Fail-Closed Enforcement Evaluation

8. Runtime Capability Approval

9. Immutable Synchronization Persistence

10. Audit Continuity Verification
