SentinelAgent: Intent-Verified Delegation Chains for Securing Federal Multi-Agent AI Systems
When Agent A delegates to Agent B, which invokes Tool C on behalf of User X, no existing framework can answer: whose authorization chain led to this action, and where did it violate policy? This paper introduces SentinelAgent, a formal framework for verifiable delegation chains in federal multi-agent AI systems. The Delegation Chain Calculus (DCC) defines seven properties - six deterministic (authority narrowing, policy preservation, forensic reconstructibility, cascade containment, scope-action conformance, output schema conformance) and one probabilistic (intent preservation) - with four meta-theorems and one proposition establishing the practical infeasibility of deterministic intent v...
