Why it matters
AI-agent tool-chain audits can reveal privilege-escalation paths that permission reviews of individual tools miss.
Trussed’s audit guide explains how individually authorized AI-agent tool calls can combine into unauthorized access through credential inheritance, delegation, and scope expansion. The guide recommends mapping complete call graphs, tracing credential lineage across hops, and using scoped, short-lived credentials.
