This document defines the Agent Authorization Profile (AAP), an authorization profile for OAuth 2.0 and JWT designed for autonomous AI agents. AAP extends existing standards with structured claims and validation rules so that systems can reason about agent identity, task context, operational constraints, delegation chains, and human oversight requirements. It does not introduce a new protocol; it specifies how to use OAuth 2.0, JWT, Token Exchange, and proof-of- possession mechanisms in agent-to-API (M2M) scenarios with context- aware, auditable authorization.
