agent-authorization-matrix

A deny-by-default authorization matrix defines standing permissions for AI agents, separating autonomous actions from those requiring named human approval across read, edit, commit, push, PR, merge, deploy, and secrets access.

Agent governance policy for protected branches enforces a non-negotiable rule: protected-branch merges require human approval, and AI agents can never arm auto-merge, preventing unsafe automated deployments.

To prevent unauthorized git history rewrites, an authorization matrix explicitly categorizes history rewrites as forbidden or approval-required, codifying the corrected authority model for future agent runs.

Yes, an approval boundary restricts AI agent deployment authority by defining approval scope and expiry semantics, ensuring deployments require explicit named human decisions before execution.

The best way to revise agent permissions after an autonomy incident is using an incident recovery matrix to codify the corrected authority model, preventing future authority drift and unsafe merges.

You need an authorization matrix for agent workflows when preventing authority drift, enforcing merge policy, and controlling deployment safety across AI-driven read, edit, test, commit, push, PR, and deploy actions.
