An agent needs credentials to do anything useful — database access, API keys, infrastructure permissions. But credentials that live inside an agent are credentials that can be leaked, stolen, or misused. Traditional IAM wasn’t designed for ephemeral, autonomous software actors. And so most production agent deployments end up making one of two bad choices: over-permissioned agents with broad access they don’t need, or under-permissioned agents so locked down they can’t do their jobs. ...
