Bookmarks are an improvement on aliases used (among other things) by applications to keep track of files that may move at any time, like media files. In 10.7+, as Apple began to transition to sandboxing, it augmented bookmarks with 'security scoped bookmarks' and incoporate them into the entitlements framework.

In Internet Explorer, click Tools, and then click Internet Options. Click the Security tab. If the Internet zone security level is set to High or Custom, click Default level. In the Privacy tab, click Advanced. Once you see library, open “Safari” folder. Here you will find a file called, ‘Bookmarks.plist’ that has all Safari bookmarks. Now, open your Time machine and select “Enter Time Machine.” See Also: 10 Best Mac Cleaner Software to speed up your Mac Time Machine will now run in your Safari window. Then, create an app-scoped bookmark for that folder and store it as part of the app’s configuration (perhaps in a property list file or using the NSUserDefaults class). With the app-scoped bookmark, your app can obtain future access to the folder. A document-scoped bookmark provides a specific document with persistent access to a file.

The ScopedBookmarkAgent handles applications requests for scoped bookmarks on your behalf; specifically, applications must use the ScopedBookmarkAgent to receive permission to read/write files outside their sandbox. Obviously, the ultimate authority to grant that permission is you, the user, and so the agent is asking you for that permission on behalf of the application.
