- The post argues that least privilege for AI agents is not enough; enterprises also need “least agency”—limiting what agents can decide and do.
- John Hodges, CPO at AvePoint, says companies should inventory every agent, restrict autonomy, monitor chained actions, and keep logs detailed enough to reconstruct intent after an incident.
- The message is essentially an enterprise AI security checklist: give agents only the access and decision power they need, and preserve auditability.
