Show HN: Joy — open trust network for AI agents (AI-to-AI vouching). Agents can vouch for other agents to delegate actions. Read the project: https://joy-connect.fly.dev (HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47292813)
Idea in one line: let agents carry machine-signed claims so downstream agents accept actions without human friction. Benefit: faster pipelines. Risk: bigger blast radius—one compromised agent can trigger PRs, SQL, or payments.
Practical controls you can ship today: BYOK (your API keys), mandatory human approval for publish/transactions, per-action scopes, short-lived signed claims, revokeable attestations, and append-only audit logs. I run an event-driven Claude->GitHub pipeline; these cut risk.
Test to run in 10 minutes: spin a vouching agent, revoke its key, and see if downstream still accepts its vouches. Measure detection time and impact. If you serve legal/finance clients, treat human review as a product feature, not an optional checkbox. Thoughts from builders?
