Agent security
A clear scope.
A useful outcome.
Map what an agent can read, remember, delegate, and change. Examine the trust boundaries between users, models, tools, and other agents, including Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations where present. Use approved workflows to check whether untrusted content can redirect an action or bypass a decision owner. Define a recovery path for an incorrect or interrupted action before expanding automation.
What we cover
- Agent and tool identity, delegated permissions, and secrets
- MCP server trust, tool descriptions, and integration boundaries
- Memory isolation, cross-agent communication, and untrusted instructions
- Human approval, action limits, audit trails, and safe termination
What you take away
- Agent capability and trust-boundary inventory
- Workflow abuse findings with controlled reproduction evidence
- Permission, approval, and containment recommendations
- Operational test cases for release and integration changes
