AID-D-016: Rogue Agent Discovery & Reputation Escalation
Detect previously unseen or newly emergent agent identities and communication edges, then combine signals from separate security detectors into auditable reputation and escalation findings. This Detect family does not quarantine, evict, or restore agents.
Scope boundary
Owns discovery of previously unseen or newly emergent agent identities and communication edges, followed by auditable reputation and escalation findings. It does not quarantine, evict, or restore agents.
AID-D-011: AID-D-016 discovers and scores unknown or emergent agents; AID-D-011 evaluates behavior, interaction evidence, population drift, and token abuse for registered identities. Unknown-subject discovery and known-subject analytics must not share an assumed approved baseline.
