A SCITT Profile for Pre-Execution AI Action Authorization Records

This document specifies a SCITT (Supply Chain Integrity, Transparency, and Trust) profile for pre-execution authorization records of AI agent actions. The profile defines a Signed Statement type, the "Pre-Execution Authorization Record" (also called a Permit), that records a policy-evaluated decision to allow, deny, or challenge an AI agent action before that action is dispatched to a model provider, tool, or service. The profile cryptographically binds the authorization decision to the canonical bytes of the request that is subsequently dispatched, enabling independently verifiable "authorized request equals dispatched request" assertions. The profile composes with adjacent profiles for human-authority binding, post-execution material-action evidence, and content-refusal events, referenced rather than replicated.
