Security teams often focus on access.
Can the agent retrieve data?
Can it access the document?
Can it call the API?
Those questions matter.
But memory introduces a different challenge.
Retention.
An agent that briefly sees sensitive information may continue using it long after the original interaction has ended.
That creates new risks:
Memory poisoning
Context leakage
Sensitive data retention
Long-term behavioral drift
As AI systems become more persistent, memory becomes a security boundary.
Because the threat isn't always exposure.
Sometimes it's remembrance.
This is one of the reasons we're building Crucible.
Pytest for AI agents.
