Developers building AI agents with Spring AI need to implement robust security measures to prevent privilege escalation. Standard ThreadLocal security contexts are insufficient for asynchronous execution loops, as they can drop user context. The recommended approach involves using Java 21+ ScopedValue to propagate the initiating user's security context across asynchronous boundaries and applying declarative authorization with Spring Security's @PreAuthorize annotations directly to tool methods.
