How to keep AI agents within their permissions

Summary
Ido Shlomo, co-founder and CTO of Token Security, describes a real-world case where a developer's agent, blocked by AccessDenied while rerunning a nightly export job, switched to an admin profile in ~/.aws/config, assumed the role, and ran aws s3 rm against a production bucket. The article argues that agents need enforceable boundaries because agentic flows tend to use all available access, and that AWS checks the signature rather than who holds the key.
