Pre-action authority receipts for agentic pipelines

[rpelevin]

I am testing an authority-before-action receipt pattern for agentic pipelines and tool-using AI systems.

The gap I am looking at is narrow: before an agent or pipeline executes a consequential action, can the workflow prove that this exact action was authorized before execution?

For this class of workflow, the boundary seems especially relevant around tool execution, data export, workflow transitions, and persistent memory/context writes.

Reference benchmark:
https://github.com/neurarelay/relay-action-card#agent-authority-benchmark

Dry-run command:

npm run benchmark:agent-authority -- --dry-run --json --source=github_discussion --campaign=agent_authority_week --surface=haystack_agentic_pipeline_authority

The benchmark is refs-only and local/dry-run: no private payloads, no downstream execution by Neura, and no claim that this project has adopted, endorsed, integrated, or been evaluated by it.

Question for maintainers/users here: is a pre-action authority receipt a useful boundary for agentic pipelines, or would the better insertion point be somewhere else in the execution lifecycle?
