Why it matters
AI agent sprawl and non-human identity governance are real defender concerns, since a write-enabled agent hit by prompt injection can act on live systems faster than security teams can respond.
Composio's vendor playbook on "AI agent sprawl" argues that autonomous agents proliferate uncontrolled across tools like Slack, Salesforce, GitHub, and Gmail with unreviewed OAuth tokens and API keys, and that traditional IAM cannot govern machine-to-machine, per-action authorization. It proposes a six-part governance framework (inventory, custodians, credential vaulting, policy-as-code, audit logging, lifecycle reviews) and cites OWASP agentic-app risks including prompt injection and identity/privilege abuse.
