An AI agent acting on behalf of a human user can obscure the user's identity when interacting with systems across different companies. Standard token exchange protocols often drop the original authentication proof when passing through multiple identity providers, leaving auditors unable to trace actions back to the originating human. The proposed solution, 'stapling,' involves carrying the upstream token's signature within the new token, allowing for verifiable, end-to-end auditing without requiring trust in intermediate systems.
