Accountability has to exist in the system
Defining ownership is only useful if you can reconstruct what actually happened. That means connecting an agent’s identity to its permissions, actions, tools, sub-agents, and eventual outcome.
If something fails, the organization should be able to understand what happened, why the agent was allowed to do it, which permissions enabled the action, which agent actually performed it, and where the control failed. That is what makes remediation possible.
This is why identity, permissioning, and execution tracing cannot live only in policy documents. Writing down who owns an agent is not the same as encoding that ownership into the systems governing it. Telling an agent not to access something is not the same as preventing access. And asking teams to piece together an incident afterwards is not the same as tracing execution while the system is running.
