How do Okta or Auth0 fit alongside workload identity for agents?
Okta, Auth0, and similar identity providers are useful for human user authentication and enterprise access management. Workload identity solves a different problem: identifying software components such as agents, services, and tools. In agent systems, both may be needed. A user may initiate a task through an enterprise identity provider, while the agent and MCP server still need their own workload identities for service-to-service calls. Teams should connect human identity, agent identity, and tool policy rather than replacing one with the other. Diagrid's zero-trust model focuses on this production workload identity layer.

Why is workload identity different from a user account for an agent?
Workload identity identifies software, services, agents, or tools, while a user account identifies a person.

Where is cryptographic identity useful in agent-to-tool calls?
Cryptographic identity is useful when an agent must prove its identity to a tool or service before access is granted.
