Description

Tirith has a provider called JSON that can evaluate a JSON text. If user requests are in the JSON format, we can evaluate it with Tirith, and Tirith can act as some kind of a authorization engine.

Need to brainstorm more about the pros and cons, implementation, performance requirements, and also whether it's worth implementing or not

Start with Tirith's JSON provider, which the issue identifies as the evaluation entry point. Assess whether JSON-formatted user requests should be supported as authorization input, then document the pros, cons, implementation approach, performance requirements, and go/no-go decision.
