Hello OAuth WG,

We have recently published a new Internet-Draft detailing the *Contextual
Agent Authorization Mesh (CAAM)*, and we would love to get your eyes on it.

**Draft:** https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-barney-caam/

Our focus with CAAM is securing the authorization handshake for autonomous
agents acting on behalf of users. A significant portion of our approach
builds upon existing and proposed OAuth patterns, specifically integrating
with Cross-App Access (XAA) and OpenID IPSIE.

We are trying to solve the problem of agents operating outside of their
designated scope by enforcing ReBAC and Common Ancestor Constraints during
the token exchange process. We want to ensure that temporary, scoped
credentials (like the ID-JAG in XAA) are contextualized perfectly for the
agent's specific task.

Given this group's deep expertise in token delegation and cross-application
access, your feedback would be invaluable. Specifically, we'd appreciate
your thoughts on how CAAM interacts with current OAuth extensions and
whether the constraint models we've proposed align well with the direction
of XAA.

Thank you,
Jonathan M. Barney (along with co-authors Roberto Pioli, Darron Watson)
