The question I keep coming back to lately: how an agent gets authority to act on someone's behalf, and how that authority stays scoped, logged, and revocable. Most agent demos end with an API key and hope. That's the gap APOA is trying to close, as an open-source layer on top of MCP.
Always liked UI/UX design, and love working in Figma. Tried Claude Design recently and was so impressed with the quality of the output: multiple design directions, high-definition mockups. Makes me wonder how design will evolve over the next 12 months.
The piece I keep adding to MCP is capability attenuation: every time an agent delegates to another agent, the new permissions can only be narrower than the parent's. Never wider. The protocol enforces it at signing, and cascade revocation means pulling one token breaks the chain below it. Around that: OAuth for APIs, browser-based credential injection for the long tail that doesn't have one, natural-language soft rules logged next to hard rules the protocol refuses outright, per-action audit. None of it is novel alone. The question is whether it's the right default for agents acting on behalf of people.
Open-source authorization for AI agents, modeled on power of attorney. Works for services with APIs (OAuth under the hood) and services without (browser-based credential injection where the AI never sees the credentials). TypeScript and Python SDKs shipped, plus MCP and A2A packages.
