Chapter 4: Activity Agents

Agents are the workers the Provision Manager dispatches to. Each agent handles one provisioning concern and runs as a stateless NATS consumer.

AgentWhat it does
IDP AgentCreates OAuth2 clients for the participant, registers claim mappings
EDC AgentCreates participant contexts in Control Plane and Identity Hub
Registration AgentRegisters the participant as a holder at the credential issuer
Onboarding AgentRequests verifiable credentials and stores them in the Identity Hub

Agents execute in dependency order — for example, the EDC Agent needs the IDP Agent to finish first so OAuth2 clients exist before participant contexts are created.
