Designing Access Control for AI Agents: Task-Based Scoping and Dynamic Revocation
Main-Rhubarb-8886 · reddit · 2026-08-24
A Reddit user discusses designing access control for internal AI agents that call APIs and access sensitive data. They argue that traditional role-based allow/deny models don't fit because agent access needs vary by task. They propose starting with minimum access and granting more per task, and governing sub-agents and short-lived workloads at machine speed. They ask whether scoping should be at the agent or tool-call level.
