Add Agent Authentication and Owner Identity Management

Description

Implement agent authentication and owner identity tracking to enable agent ownership verification and management operations (delete, update, transfer). This establishes accountability for deployed agents and allows owners to manage their agents through the NANDA Index.

Implementation Approach

• Add authentication middleware to verify agent identity on requests
• Implement owner verification endpoints for management operations
• Support agent lifecycle operations: delete, update, transfer ownership
• Add owner dashboard/API for "my agents" management

Acceptance Criteria

• Agent registration requires owner identity (user/org credentials)
• Authentication middleware verifies agent identity on incoming requests
• Owner verification endpoint: /agents/{agent_id}/verify-owner
• Owner can delete their agents: DELETE /agents/{agent_id} with owner auth
• Owner can update agent metadata with ownership proof
• Owner can transfer agent ownership to another user
• NANDA Index API: GET /agents?owner_id={id} returns all agents for owner
• Agent registration stores immutable ownership record
• Audit log for ownership changes
• Documentation for agent ownership and management workflows

Use Cases

• User wants to delete all their deployed agents
• Organization needs to audit which agents belong to them
• Transfer agent ownership when team member leaves
• Compliance requirements for agent accountability
