Safely Delegate Authority
to AI Agents
Define what AI agents are allowed to do, who authorized them, when authority expires, and who remains accountable for every action.

The problem
The AI era has
an authority problem.
Companies deploy AI agents that send emails, query databases, call APIs, and spend money — without a clear authority layer.
When something goes wrong, no one can answer: Who delegated this authority? Is it still valid? Who is accountable?
Auctra lets organizations delegate decision-making power to AI agents while maintaining full accountability — every grant scoped, expiring, and auditable.
The platform
Four primitives. One authority layer.
Authority
Legitimate power to act — bounded, scoped, and time-limited.
Delegation
Humans grant specific authority to agents under clear limits.
Verification
Every action verified: does valid authority exist?
Accountability
Immutable audit trails show who remains responsible.
How it works
From delegation to audited action in four steps.
Register authority
Add the agent to the Authority Registry with a required human sponsor.
Delegate authority
Grant scoped, expiring authority — what the agent may do, and for how long.
Evaluate every action
Your agent calls Auctra before acting. Auctra checks whether authority exists.
Audit the chain
Every decision records delegator, scope, expiration, and accountable sponsor.
Developers
One call before every action.
Drop the Auctra SDK into any agent. Call evaluateAction before the agent acts. Auctra checks whether valid authority exists — then returns allow, require approval, or blockwith delegator, scope, and expiration context.
import { Auctra } from "@auctra/sdk";
const auctra = new Auctra({
apiKey: process.env.AUCTRA_API_KEY,
});
const decision = await auctra.evaluateAction({
agentId: "your-agent-uuid",
actionType: "send_payment",
payload: { amount: 1200, currency: "USD" },
});
if (decision.decision === "allowed") await sendPayment();
if (decision.decision === "require_approval") await pauseForHuman(decision);
if (decision.decision === "blocked") throw new Error(decision.reason);The roadmap
