Execution Context Tokens for Distributed Agentic Workflows
Independent Researcher
This document defines Execution Context Tokens (ECTs), a JWT-based
extension to the WIMSE architecture that records task execution
across distributed agentic workflows. Each ECT is a signed record of
a single task, linked to predecessor tasks through a directed acyclic
graph (DAG). ECTs reuse the WIMSE signing model and are transported
in a new Execution-Context HTTP header field alongside existing WIMSE
identity headers.
