Hi all,

Pam Dingle and I are proposing a new Internet-Draft: OAuth 2.0 Entity
Profiles (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-mora-oauth-entity-profiles
).

This draft introduces a mechanism to categorize and describe the two key
entities in OAuth flows: clients initiating the flows and subjects (or
resource owners) represented in tokens.

The draft doesn’t prescribe specific behaviors but instead provides
contextual metadata that authorization servers and resource servers can use
to make informed policy decisions. We envision that future OAuth extensions
and profiles could reference these entity profiles and define verification
and handling mechanisms for the entity profiles they target.

The primary motivation stems from the emerging AI-agent scenarios, where
it’s becoming increasingly critical to know 1) when an OAuth client is an
AI agent, 2) when an AI agent is acting on behalf of another agent or a
human, and 3) how this context can be consistently represented and
interpreted in OAuth flows.

We’d greatly appreciate the WG’s feedback and suggestions.

Thanks,
Sreyanth and Pam
