- 06
Sustain
Workaround · setupYou replace or revoke the agent's access when it needs to change.
- Access: handing over a key or token.
- Onboard: signing up or registering a client for the agent.
- Sustain: renewing, replacing or revoking its access.
To remove these handoffs: support OAuth client registration so the agent can register its own client and ask for consent; provide an agent registration route, such as auth.md, a sign-up API or OAuth client registration; provide key management or OAuth refresh and revocation so the agent can maintain its own access.
