Scoped keys and least privilege make sense as a baseline. But I think the deeper issue is that if the main answer to “agents aren’t reliable enough” is “limit what they can do,” we’re leaving most of the value on the table. The whole promise of agents is that they can act autonomously across systems. If we scope everything down to the point where an agent can’t do damage, we’ve also scoped it down to where it can’t do much useful work either.

We think the more interesting problem is closing the trust gap - making the agent itself more reliable so you don’t have to choose between autonomy and reliability. Our goal is to ultimately be able to take on the liability when agents fail.
