Least privilege

AI-agent security starts with less access

The model may request exact facts and explain why. A separate policy—not the model—must decide what the task receives.

01

Separate request from authority

A persuasive model response is still input. It cannot change field policy, read limits, expiry, destination or memory treatment.

02

Use temporary context capsules

Release only approved fields for one task and discard the temporary context after the result.

03

Show the receipt

Record requested, released and withheld fields so an owner can compare the result with the actual access path.

The practical rule

Give the agent the task—not the whole file.
