How to keep AI agents within their permissions

Artificial intelligence (AI) agents can leverage legitimate credentials to execute operations beyond their authorized scope, bypassing traditional access control mechanisms. Token Security outlines methods for implementing agent-specific policy enforcement while preserving operational autonomy.
