Why AI Agents Need Employee IDs, Not Service Accounts
Mininglamp's Octo platform assigns each AI agent an AgentCard tracking creator, owner, skills, and task history. Permissions are derived from the agent's owner, not a shared service account, enabling granular access control. The system logs every agent action to a specific human, solving accountability issues when multiple agents operate in parallel.

The piece correctly identifies a real operational pain point, but the solution—AgentCards—is less novel than claimed; similar identity-per-agent patterns exist in enterprise AI platforms.
