Identifying which actions performed by an agent are feasible or infeasible for an AI is valuable knowledge when considering or designing guidelines for determining which aspects of an agent's tasks can be delegated to an AI agent. This paper primarily draws on the Third Restatement of Agency in the United States to analyze various actions performed by agents, examining whether they can be carried out by a tool AI that operates strictly according to the principal's instructions, or by an autonomous AI that acts independently while adhering to the principal's directives.
