Ensuring accountability for AI agent actions requires giving each agent a unique identity and embedding critical context within its operations. Current systems often fail due to shared credentials or agents running under human accounts, obscuring which specific agent performed an action. To address this, agents should authenticate independently, and each action should be stamped with six key fields: accountable party, operational owner, tenant, agent-type-id, agent-instance-id, and trace context. Implementing agent-type-id as a content hash of the agent's configuration and code, rather than a simple name, prevents silent behavioral drift and ensures accurate attribution. AI
