AuthZen
GovOps does not define its own runtime request/response protocol. It expects the policy decision
point evaluating a capability to be AuthZEN-conformant and PARC-shaped (subject, action, resource,
context), and it expects the capability_id from the
Authorization Capability Catalog to be addressable within that request shape.
The existing discussion of how GovOps's capability model lines up with AuthZen's request shape lives
in Foundations: Relationship to AuthZen.
This page will become a dedicated standards-track document — specifying exactly how capability_id
and catalog metadata map onto an AuthZen request — once that work is proposed and drafted.
