The Metaphor
A name, designation, specialization, and manager can make an agent easier to route, monitor, and discuss. The agent remains software, not an employee or independent decision-maker.
Role Configuration
Instructions, tools, scopes, budgets, policies, and escalation paths define the actual operating boundary. Labels should not substitute for access control.
Ownership
Every deployed agent needs a human or team owner responsible for evaluation, permissions, incidents, changes, and retirement.
