Designing Access Control for AI Agents: Tools, APIs, and Sensitive Data
Far-Eletiovhhjn-8410 · reddit · 2026-08-28
The post highlights pain points in building access control for internal AI Agents: traditional binary allow/deny models based on fixed roles no longer fit. Agent access needs vary by task, requiring a dynamic expansion from minimum privilege. Furthermore, sub-agents and short-lived workloads need governance and revocation at machine speed, not human review cycles. The author asks whether others handle this scoping at the agent level or the individual tool call level.
