An AI agent should not borrow an employee’s login. Give it a distinct identity and temporary permission for one clearly defined task.

A broad employee session can expose unrelated customer records and actions, making it difficult to tell which person or agent actually acted.

Define a task badge identifying the agent, initiator, purpose, resources, allowed actions, expiration, and destination for independent evidence about its work.

Keep enforcement outside the model. Downstream services should receive no more authority than the parent task, and consequential actions still require approval.

Expire or revoke access when the task ends or conditions change. Preserve a receipt so the business can explain and stop the delegation.
