Can AI Agents Deliver Verifiable Network-Wide Outcomes Across Authority Boundaries?

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 9, 2026 · UTC

AI agents are increasingly involved in network automation, where they can initiate configuration changes through mediated operational interfaces and assess the resulting state. Nonetheless, operational networks usually span many devices and administrative domains. Realizing an operator's intent requires coordinating agents with distinct authority scopes that define the resources they can access, the operations they can invoke, and the network state they can observe. This division limits the blast radius of an erroneous action but fragments the evidence needed to assess the network-wide outcome
