A developer describes a gateway placed between an AI coding agent and its tools that handles authorization. Rules make the decisions, while a model can only add scrutiny, never override. The post reports on what the author measured, offering practitioners a pattern for limiting agent autonomy.
A Medium post describes a working prototype for governing what AI agents can do. It combines review of agent identity, secrets, and guardrails in one place, manages policy changes as code, and exposes configuration drift before it causes problems.

A Medium post argues that as AI agents grow better at using tools, the harder problem is governing that use — knowing when to invoke tools and what they are permitted to do. It frames this control layer, the 'harness,' as the real gap in agent building.

Two Medium posts argue that natural-language instructions like "don't touch production" are not a security boundary for AI agents, and that builders should define narrowly scoped permissions before deployment. The thread offers practitioners guidance on least-privilege design for agent systems.

A permission layer that controls what AI agents can do, with a focus on security. The creator built it and then spent a day trying to break it, suggesting a security-first approach. It solves the problem of giving AI agents safe, limited access to systems.
