An Agent Identity is a digital identity associated with an autonomous or semi-autonomous software agent.

Definition

An Agent Identity is the identity construct used to represent an AI agent or automated decision-making agent inside an IAM and security model. It allows the organization to attach ownership, permissions, auditability, policy boundaries, and accountability to agents that act on behalf of humans or systems.
