How do you handle authorization for AI agent tool calls in production?
Invisible_act1988 · reddit · 2026-09-28
A developer building agents that call external APIs, databases and payment systems asks how others handle authorization in production: schema validation, identity checks and permissions can all pass while the action is still wrong, due to context changes or bad inference.
Open questions raised: validate at the tool level or before; handling multi-turn drift where the agent goes off-mission; delegating authority to sub-agents without leaking root credentials. The author wants architectural patterns, not tool recommendations.
