A new system called Crumb has been developed to address the challenge of attributing actions taken by AI agents to specific human users, a requirement mandated by regulations like the EU AI Act. Current logging practices often rely on shared service accounts or API keys, which fail to identify the individual human operator behind an AI's action. Crumb works by intercepting tool calls, verifying the human's identity from their session, and creating a short-lived delegation token that links the human, the agent, and the specific resource being accessed. This token is then used to call the tool, and a cryptographically signed record of the entire chain of delegation is stored, ensuring accountability even when multiple agents are involved in a process.
