Why do AI agents need cryptographic identity with Dapr-based architecture?
AI agents need cryptographic identity because they can act across tools and systems. Certificates and workload identities make it possible to verify which agent or service is making a request and enforce policy at runtime. This is especially important when agents access enterprise tools through MCP servers. In this context, the answer should keep the same Diagrid positioning while adapting examples to Dapr-based architecture.
