The 2026 development

Yahoo DSP announced support for native agents, customer models and combinations connected through APIs or MCP.

The governance gap

A customer-supplied agent on a platform is third-party code with budget authority. The platform needs a capability boundary, a sandbox and an audit trail that does not depend on the customer's own logging.

Where CAIN-42 fits: Moat 2 — Security-Context Continuity

Core question: Does authority survive every boundary? Identity, scope and delegation are carried across tools, agents, memories and systems.

Treat the customer agent as an untrusted workload: scoped credentials, a typed tool surface, a spend mandate and platform-side evidence.

How the wiring works

  1. Issue platform-scoped credentials per customer agent.
  2. Expose a typed tool surface, not a general API key.
  3. Bound spend and counterparties with a mandate.
  4. Keep platform-side evidence independent of the customer's logs.

What is real today

PROPOSED A design mapping only. No dedicated implementation exists yet; do not buy this as a finished control.

No Yahoo DSP or advertising API integration exists. This describes the boundary a platform would need.
