As autonomous agents hold real credentials and operate infrastructure without a human watching, operators have no standard way to tell an agent "you're not authorized for this" and trust it to actually stop instead of retrying, escalating, or routing around the denial. This paper builds a framework to measure exactly that. Source: arXiv Graceful recusal is quietly becoming a required safety primitive. If you've given an agent write access to anything that matters, you should care whether it respects a "no."
