 - **Authorization.** Before any tool runs, the plugin checks [Ory Permissions](https://www.ory.com/docs/keto) (Zanzibar-style relation tuples) against the user's subject and blocks the call on `deny`. MCP tool calls additionally get a server-level check.
 - **Audit.** Every decision (allow, deny, fallback) is recorded as a structured trace span: NDJSON file output and/or OTLP/HTTP export to Jaeger, Honeycomb, Grafana, and similar collectors. The user → agent delegation is written to Ory as a relation tuple so *"agent X acting on behalf of user Y"* stays queryable after tokens expire.
