Direct answer
Household Agents, in this operator guide, is limited to the following inspected scope. A broadly applicable baseline covering device identification, configuration, data protection, logical access, software update, and cybersecurity state awareness. The answer carries the source boundaries forward and does not infer authority from a neighboring topic.
Operator guide
Tell the operator what to check before acting, when to refuse, and how to preserve evidence of the outcome.
The guide cannot infer that a device, service, source, or credential is healthy when observation is unavailable.
Applied scope: A broadly applicable baseline covering device identification, configuration, data protection, logical access, software update, and cybersecurity state awareness.
Definition and operating context
The canonical concept owner is maha-os. This route may apply consent; it cannot redefine or inherit the authority of its canonical owner.
This property may publish private-system architecture, consent controls, operator guidance. It must not publish medical diagnosis or cloud-first defaults presented as private.
Evidence and exact locators
IoT Device Cybersecurity Capability Core Baseline — Section 2, Table 1. Establishes: A broadly applicable baseline covering device identification, configuration, data protection, logical access, software update, and cybersecurity state awareness.
What the evidence does not establish
The baseline is voluntary, is not specific to AI agents or homes, and does not certify safety, autonomy, or a Maha OS implementation.
This route must not claim medical diagnosis.
This route must not claim cloud-first defaults presented as private.

Questions this page can answer
What does Household Agents mean in this bounded context?
Household Agents, in this operator guide, is limited to the following inspected scope. A broadly applicable baseline covering device identification, configuration, data protection, logical access, software update, and cybersecurity state awareness. The answer carries the source boundaries forward and does not infer authority from a neighboring topic.
Which inspected sources support this operator guide answer?
IoT Device Cybersecurity Capability Core Baseline (NISTIR 8259A, May 2020), at Section 2, Table 1, supports a broadly applicable baseline covering device identification, configuration, data protection, logical access, software update, and cybersecurity state awareness.
What does the evidence not establish?
The baseline is voluntary, is not specific to AI agents or homes, and does not certify safety, autonomy, or a Maha OS implementation. Property boundary: This route may apply consent; it cannot redefine or inherit the authority of its canonical owner.
Which definition or canonical owner must be read first?
This page is the local maha-os definition for its topic. Related applications may depend on it but may not silently redefine it.
What source, policy, implementation, or release change would require revision?
Re-evaluate this page when a cited source, locator, governing instrument, local implementation, or canonical definition changes. Publication also requires a matching exact-revision review and active canonical release.
