Agent AuthorizationAI agent authorization is the security process that determines what an AI agent may do after authentication. It decides which tools the agent can call, which data it may read or write and which services it has access to. These decisions are enforced by policies operating independently of the agent and apply to every agent action.
Agent ObservabilityAI agent observability is the capture and analysis of every decision made, and every action taken, by agentic AI. This comprehensive practice offers complete visibility into agent reasoning, tool calls, data retrieval and model outputs. Agent observability matters because it reveals whether agents have made logical, safe choices within authorized bounds. If misbehavior occurs, organizations can detect it, take corrective action and determine the reasoning to prevent recurrence.
AI Agent IdentityAgent identity, or AI agent identity, is a digital identity assigned to an AI agent. The identity is unique, verifiable, and distinct from human users or static service accounts.
Non-Human IdentityA non-human identity (NHI) is a unique descriptor assigned to a technological system, such as a machine, application or AI agent, for authentication and authorization.
