Role Awareness and Tenant Boundaries

Operations in multi-tenant, role-based systems require explicit declarations of who can perform them and within what boundary.

Role Awareness

<button
  axag-intent="user.delete"
  axag-required-roles='["admin","super_admin"]'
  axag-role-escalation="false"
>
  Delete User
</button>

This declares that only admin and super_admin roles can invoke this operation, and role escalation is not permitted.

Tenant Boundaries

<div axag-scope="tenant" axag-tenant-boundary="strict">
  <button
    axag-intent="settings.update"
    axag-entity="tenant_settings"
    axag-action-type="write"
  >
    Update Settings
  </button>
</div>

The inherited axag-tenant-boundary="strict" declaration prevents agents from attempting cross-tenant operations.

Why These Matter

Without role and tenant declarations:

• An agent might attempt admin operations with user-level credentials
• A multi-tenant agent might inadvertently operate across tenant boundaries
• Privilege escalation paths become invisible
