The decision at the center

Which permissions are justified by the agent's job, and who is accountable when it acts?

The conversation

The session looks past the chat interface to the identities, tools, and downstream permissions that create real exposure. It gives leaders a practical way to ask for evidence without turning the discussion into a product checklist.

What to consider

  • Map the requesting person, executing identity, and approving authority.
  • Spot excessive permissions and unclear ownership.
  • Test an end-to-end action boundary with synthetic data.
  • Prepare a usable revocation and exception-handling process.
