Access Control

1 min read

What It Means

Mechanisms that determine what resources, tools, or actions an agent is permitted to use.

Access control for agents mirrors security principles from traditional systems—agents should have minimum necessary permissions.

Levels

  • Tool access: Which APIs or functions can be called
  • Data access: What information can be read or written
  • Action scope: What real-world effects are permitted

Reputation Integration

Access can be dynamically adjusted based on agent reputation—trusted agents gain broader access, while untrusted agents face restrictions.
