Public agents need scoped delegation and a way to withdraw it

Recognizing an authorized agent is different from exposing every person behind an account.

The VeChain-linked agent-platform account describes tools for persistent services that observe, decide and act. In a financial or civic setting, a mandate needs limits, duration and revocation so a user can distinguish authorized delegation from an automated account acting without permission. Public discussion adds a second problem: a fleet of accounts can manufacture apparent agreement. Platforms can make delegated behavior attributable while preserving ordinary pseudonymous speech. The practical goal is an inspectable mandate and a simple way to withdraw access, without forcing the person to rebuild the entire account.
