Why it matters
AI agents operating with valid credentials can behave unexpectedly within their authorized access, making behavioral monitoring an important complement to least privilege.
Petri's analysis argues that AI agents need narrowly scoped permissions and behavioral visibility, because authorized access does not guarantee expected behavior. Broad administrative permissions can create autonomous administrators capable of acting across an enterprise at machine speed.
