Use case
Enterprise identity and security teams, when connecting AI agents to internal systems, handle agent identities, permissions and action logs to scope authorization and trace overreach.
The old way treats agents as ordinary service accounts or shared human credentials, relying on manual registers and after-the-fact investigation to reconstruct ownership.
Agents call systems under automated identities with unclear permission boundaries, so after an incident it is hard to tell which agent acted and under what authorization, breaking the audit chain.
xOcto's call
Demand is evidenced
Once agents act on systems for people, permission ownership becomes a buying reason: enter at the step of who approves what an agent may do and who is accountable when it errs, selling to security teams that already run identity systems but lack agent governance.
Reason to use it
Why users would choose it
Inference: versus shared service accounts plus manual registers, folding agent identity and access intent into the existing identity system constrains scope at authorization time and leaves queryable records, removing the step of tracing each action afterwards; security teams already on Okta and starting agent deployments would choose it for this.
