Open Agent Passport (OAP) v1.0.0: Authorization Specification for AI Agent Interoperability
Abstract
The Open Agent Passport (OAP) v1.0 specification defines the defines the emerging authorization standard for AI agent economies. OAP provides cryptographic identity binding, capability-based access control, and deterministic policy enforcement for AI agents across frameworks. This specification establishes three core components: the Passport (identity + capabilities), the Decision (authorization outcome), and the Proof (audit trail). OAP enables pre-action authorization that prevents supply chain attacks including Clinejection-style AI tool compromises. The specification is compatible and foundational for AI Guardrails accross different frameworks, models and agentic workflows.
