Why it matters
AI agent data exfiltration can hide within legitimate workflows, making controls over both sensitive-data access and outbound tool actions important for defenders.
NHI Mgmt Group’s glossary entry explains how compromised or over-permissioned AI agents can move sensitive information through tools, APIs, and external channels. The reference overview recommends task-scoped permissions, outbound controls, and separation between retrieval and transmission; it does not report a specific incident or new exploit demonstration.
