Description

When deploying tools that will be shared across multiple AI agents, it is important to implement robust policies and controls on permissions for the tools. These controls include applying the principle of least privilege along with delegated access, where the tools receive the permissions, identities, and restrictions of the AI agent calling them. These configurations may be implemented either in MCP servers which connect the agents to the tools calling them or, in more complex cases, directly in the configuration files of the tool.
