GAP-AGENT-007: Delegation Policy Layer

Field	Value
Category	agent-delegation
Priority	Medium
Effort	L
Status	Missing

Description

Policy-based capability restriction for delegated harness invocations. Control what tools, permissions, and capabilities sub-harnesses receive based on their role.

Current State

No delegation policy. Worker harness invocations get full capabilities. Task execution hints (execution.permissions) are advisory, not enforced.

Target State

Delegation policies define capability subsets per role. An explorer gets read-only tools. A planner gets analysis tools but no file writes. A verifier gets test execution but limited code modification. Enforced via agentic tool filtering.

Dependencies

GAP-SEC-001 -- governance policy for enforcement
GAP-HADAPT-001 -- capability-based routing

Key Files

Component	Path
Agentic tools	`packages/sdk/src/harness/agenticTools.ts`
Task definitions	`packages/sdk/src/tasks/`

Recommendation

Phase 3 implementation. Define CapabilityProfile types (full, read-only, plan-only, verify-only). Enforce via agentic tool filtering in createAgenticToolDefinitions().
