2.2 Least Privilege Principle

2. Capability & AuthorizationWhat can this agent do?

Description

Agents MUST operate with the minimum permissions necessary to perform their intended function.

Rationale

Overprivileged agents have larger blast radius when compromised.

Audit Procedure

1. List all permissions the agent has
2. Document which are actually used
3. Identify and flag unused permissions

Remediation

1. Audit current permissions and remove unused
2. Use read-only access where possible
3. Scope to specific resources
