alt Hacker NewsI am still waiting for Macaroons to be used widely. I think they are a fantastic invention.
It seems they were not of very much use in the past, but with the agentic-everything now, I see this as a great way of delegating permissions to subagents, third-party agents, etc.
Working on something along these lines but unfortunately I cannot dedicate as much time as I'd like.
Still, if anyone is reading, give Macaroons a try!

JWTs can do that (delegate) and such capability is already well defined.

We have what I believe to be one of the world's largest deployments of Macaroons. They're a mixed bag, though I think they're a lot more interesting in a world where agents do most of the fiddly work.
