The legal posture in which an AI agent's authority — the delegation it acts under, the purpose-permission it is scoped to, the revocation conditions it respects — is expressed as URN-addressable primitives that a contract clause can reference verbatim. With KYE Protocol™, “the agent may pay suppliers up to €100k under purpose X” becomes kye:purpose-permission:supplier-payment:eur-up-to-100k + kye:delegation:cfo — enforceable by reference to bytes rather than inferred from vendor logs. Underpins the Legal Pack™ (KYE-SECTOR-LEGAL-001). See the Legal sector page.

KYE™ Minute explains this term in an episode dated 16 February 2027, once podcast audio is switched on.
