When AI Agents Hire AI Agents

The Pain Point

You hire a "Personal Assistant Agent." It hires a "Research Agent," which hires a "Web Scraper." If the Scraper crashes a website, who is responsible? You? The Assistant? The Scraper? Without a trail, it's a blame game.

The Solution: The Digital Paper Trail

Vouch creates a Delegation Chain.

1. You sign a note: "I authorize Assistant to manage my schedule."

2. Assistant signs: "Using my authority from User, I authorize Researcher to find data."

3. Researcher signs: "Using authority from Assistant, I authorize Scraper to visit Wikipedia."

Every action carries this full chain. You can trace the lineage of authority all the way back to the source.

Why It Matters

• Accountability: You can visualize exactly how an unauthorized action happened.
• Safety: You can set limits. "Assistant can spend $50, but cannot let sub-agents spend more than $5."

Key Takeaway: Trust but verify—all the way down the supply chain.
