This article outlines best practices for securing AI agents by focusing on the boundary where generated text translates into tool invocations. It emphasizes that the AI model itself is stateless and lacks an understanding of authorization, making the handling of its output critical for security. The piece details common failure modes such as confused deputy, scope creep through arguments, and silent success, and proposes a four-step ordered decision process: identity verification, tool authorization, resource access check, and argument validation, all before execution. AI
