arXiv:2607.01510v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents that autonomously execute tool calls on a user's behalf raise pressing questions about permission management: what role could users play, and what role should they play? Despite many proposed approaches, the user's role in agentic permission management remains under explored. We introduce Janus, a playground system for implementing and evaluating user-involved agentic permission management designs. Janus consists of two components: Janus-Core, a modular agentic system supporting a diverse spectrum of permission management designs, and J
The rapid advancement and deployment of AI agents necessitate robust permission management systems to address user concerns regarding autonomy and control, driving immediate research and development in this domain.
This development signals a critical step in defining the human-AI interaction paradigm for agentic systems, directly impacting user trust, adoption rates, and regulatory frameworks for AI.
The introduction of a dedicated research playground like Janus shifts the focus towards user-involved permission management, enabling systematic evaluation and iteration on designs that empower users rather than sideline them.
