	 <t>   AI agents operating in automated workflows take actions without any
   normative mechanism for expressing why those actions are being taken.
   Access tokens declare what an agent is permitted to do; no existing
   standard declares what the agent believes it is doing, on what
   reasoning basis, and with what level of confidence, at the moment of
   action.  This document defines the Intent Declaration Primitive
   (IDP): a structured per-transition declaration submitted by an AI
   agent to the governing OS kernel at each action step of an execution
   loop.  The IDP is committed to a tamper-evident Event Log before the
   action executes, enabling post-hoc review of agent reasoning, richer
   authorization policy evaluation, and enriched denial responses that
   guide agent behaviour.  The IDP also provides the technical basis for
   compliance with EU AI Act Article 12 logging requirements for high-
   risk AI systems.
