Agent Isolation and Least Privilege

Agent Isolation and Least Privilege

Best Practice: Run each agent (or chain) in an isolated environment with the minimum permissions needed.

• File access: Restrict to task directory
• API tokens: Scoped to task context
• Network access: Controlled by firewall rules or egress proxy

Why it matters: A compromised agent can otherwise pivot laterally or exfil data across unrelated workflows. Technical Tip: Use gVisor, Docker –cap-drop, or AWS Lambda with strict IAM roles for process-level control.
