Agent CLI Tool-Level Authorization Challenge
ZealousidealCup3992 · reddit · 2026-07-12
The author asks: Is there an agent CLI that truly implements per-tool-scope authorization, or are we still stuck between two options—putting a static API key in environment variables, or letting the agent reuse the user's session.
He points out that many agent CLIs still use 'static key + full permissions,' which has a huge impact if leaked; and MCP scoped OAuth consent, which was supposed to solve this, sometimes degrades to a static key proxy in some servers.
