The framework provides strong coverage of identity, policy, monitoring, and governance across the agent lifecycle.
One area that may benefit from clarification is the execution-time decision point for agent actions.
In a Zero Trust model, it is typically important to define:
- where an action is evaluated before execution
- what inputs are considered (identity, action, context, policy)
- how the decision is enforced (allow/deny)
- and how that decision is recorded at the moment it is made
Without an explicitly defined decision boundary, enforcement can appear distributed across multiple components (identity systems, policy engines, orchestration layers, monitoring), which may introduce ambiguity about:
- where the final authorization decision occurs
- and whether attestation reflects the decision itself or is reconstructed afterward
The framework SHOULD explicitly define an execution-time decision boundary where:
- actions are evaluated prior to execution
- authorization decisions are enforced
- and the decision record is produced at the point of enforcement
This would further align the framework with Zero Trust principles of per-action authorization.
