Seeing AI Agents Is Not Enough. Security Teams Must Enforce What They Can Do
Summary
AI agent security requires moving beyond just finding and listing agents to actively enforcing what they can do, since agents are dynamic systems that reason, plan, and take actions without human oversight. The challenge is that traditional access control models assume predictable workflows, but AI agents operate based on goals and adapt their behavior contextually, making static permission systems insufficient. Security teams must understand an agent's intent and purpose to properly enforce least privilege (limiting access to only what's necessary), rather than stopping at visibility alone.
