When organizations build AI agents, the temptation is obvious.
Give the agent:
more tools
more permissions
more integrations
more autonomy
The result feels powerful.
But every capability expands the attack surface.
Security engineering has always followed a different principle:
Least privilege.
The safest systems are rarely the most powerful.
They're the most constrained.
AI agents should be no different.
As autonomous systems become more common, organizations will need to balance capability against trust.
Because every permission granted becomes a potential path for misuse.
This is one of the reasons we're building Crucible.
Pytest for AI Agents.
