Opening up products to customer-controlled AI agents presents a significant security challenge, as the agent's model and behavior are unknown and untrusted. Traditional safety measures, which assume control over the model, become ineffective. Instead, the focus must shift to controlling what the agent can access and perform, implementing granular permissions, human sign-offs for critical actions, and detailed logging of all activities, including refused requests. This approach, exemplified by the software company Tunelo with its GarageManager product, requires defining specific actions, data boundaries, and auditable records independent of the agent's underlying model.
