Clear scope
The task and outcome are defined before tool permissions.
Secure AI agents: autonomy needs boundaries
An agent should only be as autonomous as its permissions, failure paths and ownership remain understandable.
Controlled access
Read, write and approval rights are separated.
Measurable operations
Logs and business KPIs belong to the workflow.
Least privilege
Tools receive only the permissions required by the specific workflow. Read and write access are treated separately.
Secret protection
API keys and tokens belong in protected runtime configuration, not prompts, knowledge files or public logs.
Approvals
Critical actions can require human approval before execution.
Auditability
Important agent actions should be logged so the trigger, tool call and result remain traceable.
