AI Agent Registry and Permission Matrix
A register for agents that act — with tools, credentials and autonomy — and a permission matrix stating what each may do alone, with approval, or never.
What's inside
- Registry sheet: agent, purpose, model, tools, credentials, owner, kill switch, logging
- Permission matrix sheet: agents against actions (read, write, send, execute, pay, browse, act for a user) with Allowed / With approval / Denied dropdowns
- Duties sheet: the oversight and transparency duties on record that apply to autonomous systems

The sheets and sections of version v1, as built. Columns marked ▾ have a dropdown; ƒ is a formula.

One row per agent. Four or more actions allowed alone turns the count red: that is an agent that needs the oversight procedure, not a note.
