Securing AI agents requires a shift from focusing solely on the agent itself to examining the entire chain of authority at runtime. This chain includes the requester, the agent, the tools it uses, and the resources it accesses. Many current identity and access management models fail because they only authenticate the initial request and inventory agents, but do not authorize the full sequence of actions. True control lies in runtime authorization, which verifies if the requester, agent, and tool combination is permitted to perform a specific action on a given resource, and ensures access is temporary and revoked upon task completion.
