Threat-Model the Copilot SDK as an Agent Runtime

Threat-Model the Copilot SDK as an Agent Runtime

Threat-model the Copilot SDK as a multi-part runtime: your app, the SDK, the Copilot CLI server, model selection, credentials, tool calls, and filesystem or command effects.

The SDK communicates with the CLI server over JSON-RPC, and the application can let the SDK manage the process or connect to an external server. Those choices change trust and network boundaries.

Developer takeaway: diagram the full execution path before approving dependencies or credentials.

Next decision: define the tool boundary before testing the SDK.
