How CycloneDX AI/ML-BOM, SPDX AI profiles, SLSA build levels, and in-toto/Sigstore signing let an agent check what is actually inside a model, package, or MCP server — and how it was built — before trusting it.

https://changegamer.ai/resources/agent-delegation-chains 2026-07-10T00:00:00Z

How credential authority flows when one agent spawns another — the multi-hop delegation problem, RFC 8693 token exchange, the act/may_act claims, audience binding across hops, and the IETF drafts standardizing verifiable actor chains in 2026.
