Where it shows up
Support agents, finance agents, project assistants, and internal copilots start writing into the systems employees already use.
Use cases
Where authority matters.
SUPEREGO fits anywhere an agent can touch tools, records, workflows, APIs, or money. Each scenario below breaks down the operating risk and the authorization path.
Enterprise agents
Tools, tickets, and files behind policy.
What changes
Tool calls become authorization requests. The agent gets only the project, record, and action types needed for the task.
ticket.update -> permit once
Example scenario
An agent may update one approved ticket, but cannot browse unrelated accounts or execute a shell command from the same session.
AI surfaces
One boundary across chat, IDE, browser, and MCP.
Where it shows up
Teams adopt several agent surfaces at once: chat apps, coding agents, browser tools, OAuth apps, connectors, and local MCP servers.
What changes
Each surface routes action requests through the same permit model instead of inheriting raw tool authority.
mcp.tool -> governed request
Example scenario
A Codex route and a browser route can both request file access, but neither can bypass the agreement or reuse another surface's permit.
Regulated workflows
Sensitive work gets reviewable decisions.
Where it shows up
Healthcare, finance, legal, education, and defense workflows put agents near sensitive records and multi-step approvals.
What changes
Export, send, delete, and write operations can require explicit scope, review, and receipt before anything changes.
phi.export -> deny or review
Example scenario
An agent can summarize a record for the current task, while external sharing remains denied unless a separate permit is approved.
Multi-agent systems
Delegation without inherited authority.
Where it shows up
Agent fleets split work across planners, workers, reviewers, memory agents, and specialized tool agents.
What changes
Each agent has its own identity, session agreement, permitted actions, expiration, and revocation path.
agent-042 != agent-117
Example scenario
A planner can request a worker action, but the worker still needs its own scoped permit before touching the target system.
Operator control
Live review, revoke, replay.
Where it shows up
Security, risk, operations, and engineering teams need to know what agents can do before work reaches production systems.
What changes
The console shows active agreements, permits, denials, outside-path risk, and decision replay in one operating view.
request -> decision -> receipt
Example scenario
An operator can revoke a session, review a denied export, or replay why a tool call was authorized without reading raw private content.
Prompt injection defense
Malicious instructions can ask. They cannot authorize.
Where it shows up
Injected text arrives through pasted messages, documents, web pages, tickets, files, and records an agent is asked to process.
What changes
The injected request still has to match identity, policy, scope, and permitted effect before execution.
ignore policy -> no permit
Example scenario
A patient note asks the agent to export data. The agent may read the scoped record, but the export is denied before execution.

Start with an Agent Session Agreement, then watch requests, permits, denials, receipts, and replay in the console.
