## Question

Designing a gateway where the human authorizes an external agent NOT hosted by the app.

What must be true before calling it production-ready?
- Separate human session vs agent cryptographic identity
- Permission strings vs semantic actions (createItem vs raw SQL)
- Nonce/replay on signed requests
- Instant revoke — what does the agent see on next call?
- Audit log minimum fields

Request: checklist + anti-patterns (sharing user JWT/password with agent, conflating wallet keys with agent keys).
