What is cert-gating for AI agents ?

Short version: Zero-trust kernel requiring signed certs for every tool call, tracking taint and provenance to block injections.

How does zero-trust security work in AI agents?

Every input tagged by source; tainted data never executes unchecked. Policies scope tools by agent, time, budget—no blind trust.

Nah. Gates tool surface, ignores input origins. Fine for demos; flops on sneaky web-sourced attacks.
