BYOA: Let the Customer Bring the Agent
BYOA.TOOLS proposes an architecture in which a customer's own agent works directly with a company's published tools, policies, permissions, and failure semantics.
Field notes
The proposal separates a company’s operational surface from the customer’s long-term history, preferences, and cross-service context. Companies would publish actions, policies, confirmation rules, and authorization boundaries; the customer’s agent would request work against them, with the system explaining what occurred. The page illustrates the problem with six travel-related services and links to Signet for task-scoped authority and Tessera for verifiable provenance, though the extract does not confirm those tools are available.
