ACC: Agent Capability Control v0.1.0 - Declarative Authorization for Autonomous AI
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Agent Capability Control (ACC) is a declarative authorization framework for AI agent ecosystems. It provides three-layer security through RBAC.md (role-based permissions), SOUL.md (behavioral constraints), and SKILL.md (per-skill capability grants). Key innovations include monotonic attenuation (sub-agents can only receive subsets of parent permissions) and Delegation Capability Tokens (DCTs) for cryptographic permission transfer. ACC integrates with FDAA (File-Driven Agent Architecture) to provide provable, auditable agent authorization.
