Authentication

Also known as: authentication · identity verification

Verifying a user's or application's claimed identity.

A practical example

A system confirms an account before sharing a private report.

What should I know?

Successful login does not authorize every action.

AI models and agents in practice

A model processes information; the application defines tools and permissions. Reliable answers require good sources and verification. Actions involving accounts, content, and orders must stay within the granted scope.
