Report #74952
[architecture] Compromised or hallucinating agent executing destructive API calls it should never have access to
Apply the principle of least privilege by scoping tool access dynamically per agent step; only inject the exact tool schemas required for the current task into the agent's context, revoking them immediately after.
Journey Context:
Giving an agent access to a 'delete\_database' tool when it only needs to 'read\_database' is a massive trust failure. Agents can be tricked via indirect injection into calling destructive tools. Dynamically scoping tools minimizes the blast radius of a compromised agent. The tradeoff is orchestration complexity, as the orchestrator must manage dynamic credential/tool injection per step.
