We’ve been obsessed with making AI agents smarter. But intelligence without a kill switch is a runaway train with a PhD. Arc—a new authority protocol—reduces agent actions to four primitives: delegation, approval, revocation, and audit. It’s the most important infrastructure for AI agents that nobody is building. Trust is the new intelligence.

Anthropic server-side disabled Claude Code’s task tools without warning, proving that even ‘agentic’ AI coding assistants are fully dependent on backend kill switches. Developers thought they were deploying autonomous agents—they were just renting a leash. This exposes the hidden fragility of building workflows around centralized AI providers.
