Nobody tells the gateway where the PDP is

A gateway is usually told by hand where its Policy Decision Point is, and which scopes and acr each API requires. Here it is told neither. The API publishes both at its well-known address, /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource. A gateway that reads it finds the PDP and hands the PDP the API's own requirements, and a federation decides whether the API is to be believed. These are OpenID AuthZEN enforcement points for Envoy, Istio and agentgateway, for Kong, and for Node, built around that.

Workforce-Grade Identity in an Agentic World

As organisations deploy Copilot and other agents, those agents act through the same identity plane. An agent reads a user's mail, queries Confluence, touches Salesforce, drafts in SharePoint — all on tokens issued by Entra and by the SaaS platforms federated to it. No one sat down and decided, "we will use our workforce identity provider as the authorisation layer for autonomous software that holds broad delegated authority across our estate." It happened by accretion. Each connector seemed reasonable in isolation. The aggregate is an agentic authorisation architecture running on workforce-grade foundations. The vulnerability is architectural drift, not a procurement decision — which is exactly why it stays invisible until it becomes an incident.
