EG-AGENT-005 Agent Delegation Governance Requirements

11/11 Agent Governance Standards Initiative

Version: Draft v0.1

Classification: Agent Delegation Governance Specification

Specification Family: Autonomous Runtime Governance Standards

Abstract

EG-AGENT-005 defines agent delegation governance requirements for regulated AI and orchestration infrastructure environments.

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

The framework positions agent delegation governance as a deterministic runtime authorization layer rather than a permissive autonomous delegation mechanism.

1. Agent Delegation Governance Principle

Governed autonomous systems MUST maintain deterministic delegation authorization continuity.

Governed runtime environments SHALL enforce:

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

Any unverifiable delegation condition SHALL trigger deterministic containment protections.

2. Delegation Governance Coordination Requirements

Governed runtime environments SHALL maintain delegation coordination systems responsible for:

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

Delegation coordination SHALL remain synchronized across all runtime systems.

3. Deterministic Delegation Validation

Execution governance systems SHALL validate:

1. Delegation Authorization Continuity

2. Governance Policy Synchronization

3. Runtime Integrity Verification

4. Delegation Scope Continuity

5. Cryptographic Delegation Validation

6. Immutable Audit Synchronization

7. Distributed Runtime Consistency

8. Execution Lineage Continuity

Validation failures SHALL trigger fail-closed protections.

4. Fail-Closed Delegation Enforcement

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

Failure conditions SHALL trigger containment including:

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

Execution MUST default to containment during delegation uncertainty.

5. Cryptographic Delegation Verification

Governed execution systems SHALL implement cryptographic delegation verification supporting:

• signed delegation 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 delegation 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:

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

Desynchronization SHALL trigger deterministic containment protections.

8. Delegation Governance Traceability

Governed execution environments SHALL maintain deterministic traceability including:

• delegation 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 Delegation Governance Lifecycle Flow

1. Agent Initialization

2. Delegation Authorization Validation

3. Governance Coordination Inspection

4. Runtime Integrity Verification

5. Cryptographic Delegation Validation

6. Telemetry Synchronization Validation

7. Fail-Closed Enforcement Evaluation

8. Runtime Delegation Approval

9. Immutable Synchronization Persistence

10. Audit Continuity Verification
