Harrison Chase questions how internal company AI agents should handle identity
Overview
Harrison Chase asks how identity should work for internal company agents and lists three options: a fixed set of credentials, an "on behalf of" flow that uses the credentials of whoever runs the agent, or a mix of both.
Chase says his own internal agents, including openswe for coding and a GTM agent for outreach, have so far acted on behalf of whoever uses them. He suggests that as agents take on proactive background work, they may need to be treated as coworkers rather than as tools acting for users, citing an idea from Hone about agents pursuing goals.
