Why it matters
Governed AI agent identity frames the control plane defenders need to constrain autonomous agents to approved actions and maintain traceable accountability, closing the gap where "the agent did it" becomes an audit blind spot.
A glossary entry from NHI Management Group defines "governed AI agent identity" as the managed identity assigned to an AI agent so its actions can be authenticated, authorized, scoped, logged, and controlled through lifecycle oversight. The reference material covers policy enforcement, least-privilege authorization, auditability, and accountability for autonomous non-human actors.
