Resolve the human mandate behind an AI agent: which actions a named person actually permitted, any value cap, the expiry, and whether the grant itself is signed. Where authority was delegated agent to agent, the full chain is walked back to the human at the root, and one law is enforced at every hop: authority may only ever narrow. No hop can hold an action, a target or a spending cap wider than the hop above it, and the root must be a human. Use this before letting an agent transact, sign, spend or commit on someone else's behalf. An agent holding a valid credential may still be acting outside its mandate, and those are different questions.
