Why it matters
AI agent API access requires least-privilege credentials and attributable logging to limit unauthorized actions and support investigation and revocation.
NHIMG’s AI Agent API Access glossary entry explains the security boundaries governing agents’ API calls, including scoped credentials, authorization, audit logging, and revocation. The entry describes common failures such as overprivileged access, long-lived or exposed credentials, and poor attribution, rather than demonstrating a new attack.
