Agent Security Must Start with Permission Design
CODE_HEIST · reddit · 2026-07-05
@CODEHEIST argues that the primary security concern for agents isn't intelligence, but permission design: whether they can read/write somewhere, spend money, message users, delete/overwrite data, or execute instructions from untrusted content. An agent with 15 tools, clear boundaries, confirmation points, and audit trails is far safer than one with 150 tools but no explainable choices.
