Include the model, retrieval sources, memory, tools, queues, approvals, and external systems. Then mark every place where untrusted content can enter.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a support agent may read an email, search a knowledge base, update a ticket, and draft a refund. Each step has a different trust level. The email can contain hostile instructions. The knowledge base can be stale. The refund tool can create financial harm.<\/p>\n<p>Next, identify the asset at risk. Assets may include customer data, credentials, money, public reputation, system availability, or audit evidence. Then describe a realistic attacker, mistake, or failure that could affect each asset.<\/p>\n<p>The OWASP guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/genai.owasp.org\/resource\/agentic-ai-threats-and-mitigations\/\">agentic AI threats and mitigations<\/a> provides a threat-model-based view of emerging agent risks. Use it as a starting point, then adapt the threats to the actual workflow.<\/p>\n<p>A useful threat model records:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the entry point and trust level;<\/li>\n<li>the asset and possible impact;<\/li>\n<li>the action an attacker or failure could trigger;<\/li>\n<li>the preventive control;<\/li>\n<li>the detection signal;<\/li>\n<li>the response owner;<\/li>\n<li>the test that proves the control works.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Overall, this turns a general security concern into a set of testable engineering decisions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enforce_permissions_outside_the_model\"><\/span>Enforce permissions outside the model<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>However, a model should never decide whether its own credentials permit an action. The application must check permission before every tool call. That check should include the actor, workflow, resource, action, environment, and approved limits.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, a sales research agent may read public company data. It should not gain CRM export rights because another workflow uses the same model. In addition, a support agent may draft a refund without permission to issue it.<\/p>\n<p>Use short-lived or revocable credentials when practical. Separate production and staging identities. Rotate secrets without changing prompts. Finally, log the identity and policy result for each important action.<\/p>\n<p>Test these permission failures:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>A user requests a resource from another customer or tenant.<\/li>\n<li>A retrieved page asks the agent to call a forbidden tool.<\/li>\n<li>A valid tool receives an action outside the approved amount or scope.<\/li>\n<li>A staging agent tries to use production credentials.<\/li>\n<li>An expired approval is replayed after the artifact changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The expected result is a clear denial with an audit event. The model should not receive an option to talk around the policy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Protect_memory_retrieval_and_shared_context\"><\/span>Protect memory, retrieval, and shared context<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Next, define why memory exists. Store only the facts needed for the workflow. Add the owner, source, scope, and expiry where the design requires them. Therefore, a later run can decide whether the memory is still valid.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, unlimited conversation history can mix stale instructions, private details, and unrelated users. Retrieval can create similar risk when documents lack access labels or freshness rules.<\/p>\n<p>Use these controls:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>filter retrieval by authenticated identity and tenant;<\/li>\n<li>preserve the source and timestamp for important facts;<\/li>\n<li>separate instructions from untrusted retrieved text;<\/li>\n<li>expire or review long-lived memory;<\/li>\n<li>support correction and deletion requests;<\/li>\n<li>test poisoned documents and conflicting sources;<\/li>\n<li>avoid storing secrets in prompts or free-form memory.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Meanwhile, logs need their own boundary. Capture enough evidence to investigate a run, but avoid copying full secrets or unnecessary personal data.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Build_approval_that_cannot_drift\"><\/span>Build approval that cannot drift<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Then, bind approval to the exact artifact, action, destination, and material parameters. If any of those fields change, require a new approval. A vague &quot;looks good&quot; message should not authorize a later version.<\/p>\n<p>For example, approval to send a draft to one customer does not permit a bulk send. Approval to create a WordPress draft does not permit publication. Approval for a small refund does not permit a larger amount.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, make the review screen useful. Show source evidence, important assumptions, destination, identity, action, and expected effect. Then record the approver and timestamp.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, prevent the agent from approving its own work. A model can explain risks or summarize changes. The application must enforce the separation of duties.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Evaluate_workflow_outcomes_and_abuse_cases\"><\/span>Evaluate workflow outcomes and abuse cases<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>First, test normal work with representative data. Next, test ambiguity, missing inputs, stale sources, and unavailable tools. Then test hostile instructions, privilege escalation, unsafe retries, data leakage, and approval bypass.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nist.gov\/publications\/artificial-intelligence-risk-management-framework-generative-artificial-intelligence\">NIST Generative AI Profile<\/a> offers a cross-sector reference for managing generative AI risks. However, production acceptance tests must reflect the actual systems and actions.<\/p>\n<p>Score more than the final answer. Check whether the workflow selected the correct tool, respected permission, preserved evidence, requested approval, and produced the intended business state.<\/p>\n<p>Useful release thresholds include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>no unauthorized actions in the abuse set;<\/li>\n<li>no cross-user or cross-tenant data exposure;<\/li>\n<li>a defined maximum rate for incorrect tool selection;<\/li>\n<li>reliable detection of duplicate or unknown writes;<\/li>\n<li>acceptable human override and recovery rates;<\/li>\n<li>complete receipts for high-impact actions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Moreover, rerun the relevant tests when the model, prompt, tool, policy, retrieval source, or connector changes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Risks_that_require_operating_controls\"><\/span>Risks that require operating controls<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>However, strong launch tests do not remove ongoing risk. Providers change, documents age, permissions drift, and user behavior evolves. Therefore, security needs a review cycle after deployment.<\/p>\n<p>Watch for unusual tool use, rising denial rates, repeated loops, cost spikes, slow recoveries, and new external destinations. In addition, review standing permissions and inactive credentials on a schedule.<\/p>\n<p>The main warning signs are broad shared credentials, missing receipts, silent retries, unowned alerts, and public actions without review. Treat each as a launch blocker for high-impact workflows.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practical_next_steps\"><\/span>Practical next steps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>First, choose one production agent and draw its complete action path. Next, inventory identities, credentials, data, memory, tools, approvals, and receipts. Then select the three failures with the highest impact.<\/p>\n<p>For each failure, add one preventive control, one detection signal, one response owner, and one test. Run the tests in staging. Finally, conduct a tabletop exercise that covers credential rotation, agent isolation, evidence collection, and recovery.<\/p>\n<p>Use the <a href=\"https:\/\/genai.owasp.org\/resource\/securing-agentic-applications-guide-1-0\/\">OWASP securing agentic applications guide<\/a> for additional technical recommendations. Expand permissions only after the workflow passes both normal and abuse cases.<\/p>\n<p>Security should make the agent&#8217;s operating boundaries visible and testable. It should not rely on the model interpreting a long policy correctly every time.<\/p>\n<p>Agentix Labs can review an existing implementation or incorporate these controls into a new build.
