Organization
The agent belongs to an organization whose configured domain control was verified for the current deployment profile.
AI agent identity
Give an external AI agent a verifiable company identity.
Totem links a registered agent to the organization it represents, then carries that identity into recipient-bound credentials and request-bound proof. The receiver checks the identity against current authority before acting.
An agent identity needs more than a display name.
A useful machine identity tells the receiver which organization controls the agent and which key authenticated the workload. It also needs lifecycle state. If the organization, agent, key, relationship, or credential is no longer valid, an old signed artifact should not keep working.
Totem registers agents inside an organization that has proved control of its configured domain. Presenting and receiving workloads use separate scoped keys. The platform stores the public verification material and checks the active organization context on the server.
The identity facts a receiver can check.
Agent
The credential and presentation name one registered, active agent rather than a shared human account or an unlabeled process.
Recipient
Authority is issued for a named receiving organization. Proof for one counterparty does not become general access elsewhere.
Lifecycle
Agent, key, credential, and company-relationship revocation take effect in live verification checks.
Identity supports policy; it does not replace it.
Knowing the agent’s organization does not prove that the request is safe, accurate, or contractually valid. Totem adds the action, recipient, time window, request digest, and current policy state to the decision. The receiving service still decides whether to perform the business operation.
This separation matters in cross-company automation. The presenting agent cannot define the receiver’s policy, and a passing identity check cannot authorize a different action. Read the AI agent authorization page for the request-level controls.
