Does a series limit an AI agent''s liability blast radius?
Quinn ran a fleet, and one of the agents went off-script โ it kept firing requests at a vendor long after the run should have stopped. The agents are tools, never holders of legal capacity; each signs as an authorized signer with capped authority, while a named human stands as Member and Manager. Quinn had adopted each agent into its own series, so the books, the contracts, and the signing trail for the off-script agent all sat inside that one cell, apart from the rest of the fleet. Separateness here is documented through that structure, not a guarantee. The design of the wall is the point: a dispute over the off-script agent is built to stop at its own cell rather than reach across the fleet. But whether the line holds depends on observing the formalities โ separate records, separate accounts, no commingling โ and the series form is newer, untested, and less court-tested than older entities, so the boundary is a performed line, not a promise.
MoralA series wall is meant to confine a dispute to one cell; it is documented, not a guarantee, depends on observing the formalities, and the form is newer and less court-tested.
What this does not mean. This shows how the wall is designed, not how it ends. It does not mean the other agents were kept safe, that anyone was protected, or that a court honored the series and held the dispute inside its cell โ the wall is performed through formalities, not guaranteed.
