Hacker News debate on least-privilege access for AI agents

Original: Ask HN: Allow agents access to cloud files with least privilege?

A Hacker News discussion is asking how to let AI agents access cloud file storage without overexposing data, proposing least-privilege permissions as the model. Commenters are weighing how to scope credentials so agents can only read or write what a task requires. The question reflects a growing operational challenge as companies connect autonomous agents to real infrastructure and worry about security boundaries.

Why now: As AI agents are increasingly given access to production systems, developers are actively seeking secure permission models for them.
