What Is an Agent ID?

How to make AI agents enterprise ready: six controls buyers actually ask about
An AI agent is enterprise ready when its limits hold without the model's cooperation. Six controls decide it: whitelisting, authentication, prompt injection screening, permissioning, multi-tenancy, and auditability. If a control depends on the model cooperating, it is not a control.
Every Agent Has a Human
Apps cannot tell who is behind an agent. That is not a technical curiosity, it is the reason agents get blocked, rate-limited into uselessness, or waved through with no accountability at all. AgentID exists to fix it.
