Most agents run with the same broad access you have. Give each one a narrow identity instead, so a single mistake stays small.
Allowed to
When an agent inherits your full access and a pile of standing keys, anything that goes wrong can reach everything.
It runs with the same broad reach you have, far more than the task needs.
Standing keys sit around waiting to be used, by the agent or by anyone who grabs them.
A trick or a bug now has the run of the place, instead of being boxed in.
Each agent gets a bounded identity that allows only what you chose. It refuses anything else, and it holds no keys at rest. You can see exactly how little access your whole fleet has.
Pick the exact things an agent can do. It carries that and nothing more.
Ask it to step outside its bounds and it simply will not, and tells you instead.
Credentials are used in the moment, never stored, so there is nothing sitting around to misuse.
The agent inherits your full access and a pile of standing keys. One bad moment puts all of it at risk.
Broad, always-on access turns a single mistake into a big one.
Each agent gets a bounded identity and can only do what you allowed. It refuses anything else, and it holds no keys at rest.
See exactly how little access your whole fleet holds, measured in seconds, not days.
As you add agents, each one stays narrow. The fleet grows without turning into a single giant key.
Give each agent just the access its task needs, so they do not all share one broad set of keys.
When an agent spawns a helper, the helper gets a smaller slice of access, never more.
A clear number shows how little access your fleet actually holds over time.
Revoke an agent and its access is gone everywhere, with nothing left at rest.
Set up an agent, choose what it can touch, and see how little access your fleet holds.
Your agents need keys for Stripe, GitHub, and the rest. Share each one once, and your agent uses it without ever seeing it. Every use is single-shot, short-lived, and recorded.
GuardrailsSet guardrails your agent follows.A clever prompt can talk an agent into deleting data, running a risky install, or touching production. Set the rules once, and your agent follows them on every step.
AccountabilityProve what every agent did.When agents run real work, you need a clear answer to a simple question. Did the agent change that, leak that, or spend that, and which agent was it?
