Deploy Agents With Permissions Before Intelligence: A Least-Privilege Checklist

alifcoder · x · 2026-10-07

Part 6 of the thread offers concrete deployment advice: start with permissions before intelligence. Give agents access only to systems needed for the job; use logged-out or isolated sessions where possible; require approval before sending, purchasing, deleting, publishing, or exposing sensitive data; keep activity logs; expire credentials; make irreversible actions harder than reversible ones. Boring architecture, but it limits damage when the model eventually makes a bad call.
