Implement the AP2 Agent Authorization Framework — open vs closed mandates, the two-phase delegation/authorization process, the cryptographic authorization chain, Key Binding JWTs, and human-present vs human-not-present signing. Use when designing how a user authorizes an agent to act, before touching any specific mandate type.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# AP2 Agent Authorization Framework ## Before writing code **Fetch live docs**: 1. Fetch `https://ap2-protocol.org/ap2/agent_authorization/` for the framework itself — this is the foundational model everything else sits on. 2. Fetch `https://ap2-protocol.org/ap2/specification/` for the current mandate types and their schemas. 3. Fetch `https://ap2-protocol.org/glossary/` — AP2's terminology has changed across releases and the glossary is the fastest way to catch a rename. 4. Web-search `site:github.com google-agentic-commerce AP2 mandate open closed` for reference types under `code/`. **Terminology warning**: AP2 renamed and restructured core objects between releases. Confirm the current names against the live glossary before writing any type. Never carry an object name forward from an older tutorial, blog post, or this skill. ## Conceptual Architecture ### The problem it solves > Even well-behaving agents need to have their behavior tightly constrained above what a normal authorization model would require of human users. …

How to install
mdr add orcaqubits/agentic-commerce-skills-plugins/ap2-agent-authorization@sha256:550af3645daee42eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.08f85a3, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
