Faramesh: A Protocol-Agnostic Execution Control Plane for Autonomous Agent systems

This paper introduces Faramesh, a protocol-agnostic execution control plane designed to provide execution-time authorization for autonomous agent systems. By implementing the Action Authorization Boundary (AAB), Faramesh ensures that all agent-driven actions are validated before execution, preventing unauthorized actions from being carried out.

Faramesh is proposed as a critical architectural component for securely deploying autonomous agents in complex, real-world environments, where failure to enforce such boundaries can lead to unpredictable and dangerous system behaviors. Unlike traditional IAM or logging-based solutions, Faramesh introduces a robust non-bypassable layer that guarantees determinism, security, and auditability in agent-driven decision-making processes. The paper demonstrates the significance of enforcing strict execution-time authorization as an essential building block for autonomous systems interacting with critical infrastructure.
