Direct answer
Identity Bound Agents, in this verification guide, is limited to the following inspected scope. Per-request subject and resource authorization. MCP resource-server authorization boundaries. The answer carries the source boundaries forward and does not infer authority from a neighboring topic.
Verification guide
Recompute or re-observe the relevant identity, digest, state, or output instead of trusting a self-declared success field.
A verifier must distinguish missing evidence, failed observation, mismatch, and confirmed success.
Applied scope: Per-request subject and resource authorization. MCP resource-server authorization boundaries.
Definition and operating context
The canonical concept owner is maha-strategies. This route may apply authority; it cannot redefine or inherit the authority of its canonical owner.
This property may publish bounded explanations, operational guides, commercial entry points. It must not publish research-source duplication or unreleased evidence claims.
Evidence and exact locators
Zero Trust Architecture — Sections 3.2–3.3: policy decision point, policy enforcement point, and trust algorithm. Establishes: Per-request subject and resource authorization.
Authorization — Token validation; resource indicators; audience validation; token storage. Establishes: MCP resource-server authorization boundaries.
What the evidence does not establish
Zero trust is an architecture, not proof that this implementation is secure.
Authorization is optional in MCP and HTTP transport-specific.
This route must not claim research-source duplication.
This route must not claim unreleased evidence claims.

Questions this page can answer
What does Identity Bound Agents mean in this bounded context?
Identity Bound Agents, in this verification guide, is limited to the following inspected scope. Per-request subject and resource authorization. MCP resource-server authorization boundaries. The answer carries the source boundaries forward and does not infer authority from a neighboring topic.
Which inspected sources support this verification answer?
Zero Trust Architecture (SP 800-207, August 2020), at Sections 3.2–3.3: policy decision point, policy enforcement point, and trust algorithm, supports per-request subject and resource authorization. Authorization (specification 2025-06-18), at Token validation; resource indicators; audience validation; token storage, supports mCP resource-server authorization boundaries.
What does the evidence not establish?
Zero trust is an architecture, not proof that this implementation is secure. Authorization is optional in MCP and HTTP transport-specific. Property boundary: This route may apply authority; it cannot redefine or inherit the authority of its canonical owner.
Which definition or canonical owner must be read first?
This page is the local maha-strategies definition for its topic. Related applications may depend on it but may not silently redefine it.
What source, policy, implementation, or release change would require revision?
Re-evaluate this page when a cited source, locator, governing instrument, local implementation, or canonical definition changes. Publication also requires a matching exact-revision review and active canonical release.
