The 2026 development

PubMatic launched AgenticOS for agent-coordinated advertising workflows.

The governance gap

Advertising agents move real budgets across many counterparties. The risk is not a bad single ad; it is a sequence of small, individually defensible moves that breaches the campaign's authority.

Where CAIN-42 fits: Moat 2 — Security-Context Continuity

Core question: Does authority survive every boundary? Identity, scope and delegation are carried across tools, agents, memories and systems.

Aggregate spend and placement authority across the campaign, not per call. A trajectory-level ceiling catches the salami pattern that per-request checks miss.

How the wiring works

  1. Issue a campaign-level budget and counterparty authority.
  2. Aggregate spend across all agents and calls.
  3. Detect a sequence that approaches the ceiling through small moves.
  4. Pause the campaign when the aggregate is exhausted.

What is real today

PROPOSED A design mapping only. No dedicated implementation exists yet; do not buy this as a finished control.

No advertising platform or budget connector exists here. The aggregate-control primitives are real; the campaign workflow is a design.
