Documenting one agent's authority is the right instinct. Deciding what authority every agent in an organization gets, how it is bounded, logged and revoked, and who answers for it is the job.

Certified Agentic AI Governance Professional (CAAGP) is the program for governing agents that act: what authority an agent gets, how it is bounded, logged and revoked, who answers for it, and how to prove the design to an auditor. It ends in a credential an employer can verify.
