AI AGENTS & CLOUD PLATFORMS

They verify the agent. UniKey verifies the action.

AI agents cannot act freely across the internet, because nothing proves that a specific action was authorized by the person or company behind it. UniKey is that infrastructure: delegated, scoped and verified before the action executes.

THE PROBLEM TODAY

Credentials stand in for permission

Agent identity is not authority

Knowing which agent is calling says nothing about whether this purchase or change was approved.

API keys everywhere

Agents run on long-lived keys and tokens that grant far more than any one task needs.

No record of delegation

When an agent acts for a user, through a platform, the chain of authority is lost.

WITH UNIKEY

Actions that carry a Trust Packet

Each one is signed by the party with the authority to take it, and verified before it executes.

  • Delegate to an agent

    A user delegates a narrowed scope with an expiry; the agent can never exceed it.

  • Act across domains

    The agent presents a Trust Packet with each request, verified by the receiving service.

  • Call an API

    Enterprise APIs verify the packet before execution instead of trusting the bearer of a key.

  • Audit the chain

    User, platform and agent are each recorded in the Authorization Certificate.

Example Trust Packet place_order
{
  "action": "place_order",
  "subject": "jordan@example.com",
  "signer": "agents.platform.example",
  "audience": "orders@merchant.example",
  "scope": [
    "place_order"
  ],
  "params": {
    "sku": "SKU-1042",
    "quantity": 2,
    "max_total": "250.00"
  },
  "expires_at": "2026-10-05T14:05:00Z"
}

Illustrative. The verifier looks up the signer's public key in DNS, checks the Ed25519 signature, refuses a packet it has seen before or one past its expiry, and only then lets the action run.
