RealGround Analysis

AI agents with access to sensitive systems can create material security risk if their permissions, credentials, or actions are not tightly controlled. RealGround analysis: agent deployments should be reviewed for least-privilege access, approval requirements, and auditable business logic before production use.

Recommended Controls

• Apply least-privilege permissions to every AI agent and restrict access to only required systems and secrets.
• Use short-lived, scoped credentials instead of persistent credentials for agent access.
• Require human approval for high-impact or irreversible actions involving sensitive systems.
• Log and continuously monitor agent authentication, secret retrieval, tool calls, and downstream actions.
• Conduct business-logic and adversarial testing of agent workflows before deployment.
