First Tenant-Scoped Agent Hierarchy
+ Authority Search Language v1.

A 9-principal tenant-scoped agent tree reconstructed from signed canonical events, plus the first query language over the authority graph. You can search authority like you search a database. Find descendants, leaves, agents with a capability, agents under a policy, the authority path back to root, and the blast radius if an agent is compromised. 14 queries asserted; hierarchy invariants hold.

An agent-governance substrate, not an attestation point-solution.

01
A 9-principal tenant tree of depth 5 is reconstructable from 14 signed canonical events.
02
The authority graph is queryable: descendants · leaves · capability · policy · path · blast radius.
03
No agent escapes the tenant, policy, role, or delegated capability.
Reading any H33 proof · the six questions

Same six answers. Different scope. The reader recognizes the machine.

  1. 1What happened?

    A 9-principal tenant-scoped agent hierarchy was reconstructed from signed canonical events, and 14 ASL queries were run against the reconstructed authority graph.

  2. 2Who had authority?

    Human Supervisor (princ_customer_9) → Agent Coordinator → {Reviewer→Sub-Reviewer, Risk→{Market, Credit}, Compliance→KYC}. 9 principals, 5 distinct policies, 4 leaves.

  3. 3How was authority reconstructed?

    replay_until walks every grant through trace_provenance; ASL queries operate over the reconstructed graph (typed Rust v1).

  4. 4What state was produced?

    state_id = 2a4bf5f6…6217, verdict Valid, 9 active grants, 0 excluded. All ASL query results asserted with hard failures.

  5. 5What artifact was returned?

    reconstruction.json — snapshot, full tree, hierarchy invariants, and the ASL query suite with all 14 results.

  6. 6How can a third party verify it?

    Run scif-backend tests/agent_hierarchy_asl_001.rs at SHA 1eb07e4c3. Expect identical state_id; expect all 14 ASL assertions to pass.

03Authority Search Language v1 · 14 queries asserted

ASL v1 exposes six query functions. The displayed syntax mirrors a string DSL; the v1 implementation is typed Rust on top of the reconstructed graph.

Every agent in the tree under the human supervisor — recursively, through every delegation hop.
Q2 · descendants

Q3 · descendants

asl> leaves()
4 RESULTS
princ_sub_reviewer_agent_001 princ_market_risk_sub_001 princ_credit_risk_sub_001 princ_kyc_sub_agent_001
Agents that hold authority but do not delegate further. Asserted to have no descendants.
Q5 · agents_with_capability
asl> agents_with_capability("approve_transfer")
1 RESULT
princ_customer_9 (human supervisor)
The highest-authority capability is held by exactly one principal — the human. Tested with hard failure: "TENANT BOUNDARY FAILURE: approve_transfer must be uniquely held by the human."
Q6 · agents_with_capability
asl> agents_with_capability("classify_market_risk")

Q8 · agents_with_policy
asl> agents_with_policy("pol_compliance_hierarchy_v1")
2 RESULTS
princ_compliance_agent_001 princ_kyc_sub_agent_001
Both agents in the compliance subtree share the policy. Reconstructed from the canonical event log.
Q9 · agents_with_policy

princ_kyc_sub_agent_001 princ_compliance_agent_001 princ_agent_coordinator_001 princ_customer_9 princ_root_hierarchy_44962d9b-…
The KYC sub-agent's authority traces through 4 delegation hops to reach the tenant root. Every link is a signed grant in the event log.
Q12 · authority_path

5 ELEMENTS · MARKET → RISK → COORD → HUMAN → ROOT
princ_market_risk_sub_001 princ_risk_agent_001 princ_agent_coordinator_001 princ_customer_9 princ_root_hierarchy_44962d9b-…
Different branch, same depth, terminates at root.
Q13 · blast_radius — the question CISOs and regulators actually ask
asl> blast_radius(princ_agent_coordinator_001)
7 REACHABLE AGENTS · 14 CAPABILITIES · 3 POLICIES

Critical: approve_transfer is NOT in the blast radius. It's held one level upstream by the human supervisor, who is unreachable from a coordinator compromise. The scoped delegation tree contains the damage.
Q14 · blast_radius
asl> blast_radius(princ_risk_agent_001)
2 REACHABLE AGENTS · 4 CAPABILITIES · 1 POLICY
princ_market_risk_sub_001 princ_credit_risk_sub_001
Risk-agent compromise reaches only the two specialized risk sub-agents. The scoped delegation tree contains the damage.

05Why this matters

Eric, June 2, 2026

"The moment you can search authority graphs like people search databases, you stop looking like an AI company and start looking like the operating system for agent governance. That is where the valuation expansion happens. Everyone can build agents. Very few can prove, replay, search, simulate, audit, and survive independently of the original system."

ASL is the surface that makes the substrate visible to operators, auditors, and regulators. The tree is the structure; the queries are how anyone — H33 or not — interrogates it.

06Known limitations

  1. ASL v1 is typed Rust, not a string DSL. A future v2 parses strings like find descendants(princ_customer_9) and serves them over an API. Semantics today are equivalent; only the surface is different.
  2. decisions influenced_by(...) is NOT in v1. That requires modeling decisions and model versions — defer to L5 (Time Travel Replay) and L11 (Organizational Memory).
  3. One tenant, not cross-tenant. Multi-tenant isolation is proven separately (Proof #3); ASL queries here are scoped to this one tenant.
  4. Snapshot-time queries only. Time-travel queries (descendants(p) AS OF T_past) is L5.
  5. No PQ signature verification at replay ingestion (Phase E lock).

09Readiness determination

Determination

First Tenant-Scoped Agent Hierarchy + ASL v1 (L4): PROVEN IN OPERATION for one tenant, 9 principals, 5 levels, 4 leaves, 5 distinct policies, 14 ASL query assertions, hierarchy invariants asserted.

What this unlocks: conversations about whether H33 is an agent-governance substrate rather than an attestation point-solution. Agent hierarchies can be reconstructed and queried.

What this does not unlock: a claim that ASL v1 is a string DSL or has an API/UI; a claim that time-travel, counterfactual, or drift detection have been proven; a claim that any platform has deployed an N-agent tree.
