MULTI-AGENT GOVERNANCE
Multi-Agent Arbitration
When Agent A delegates to Agent B, RANKIGI verifies authority from the human owner and logs the entire delegation chain.
How it works
In multi-agent systems, agents routinely delegate tasks to other agents. Without governance, these delegations are invisible. RANKIGI’s arbitration layer intercepts every agent-to-agent delegation and verifies that the target agent has authority from the initiating agent’s human owner before the action executes. The verification decision, permitted scope, and trust score are all logged as a single governance event on both agents’ audit trails. Organizations can configure arbitration policies — requiring explicit human approval, auto-approving trusted agents, or setting maximum delegation depth.
Technical details
arbitration_hash = SHA-256(canonical_json({ initiator_passport_id, target_passport_id, requested_actions, approved_actions, resolved_at, human_owner_id })). Logged to both agents’ event chains. Max delegation depth configurable per policy.
