Overview
A source-backed snapshot of this defense.
AI agents may be granted elevated privileges above that of a normal user to enable desired workflows. When deploying a privileged AI agent, or an agent that interacts with multiple users, it is important to implement robust policies and controls on permissions of the privileged agent. These controls include Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC), Attribute-Based Access Controls (ABAC), and the principle of least privilege so that the agent is only granted the necessary permissions to access tools and resources required to accomplish its designated task(s).
