Dynamic Capability Scoping for Enterprise AI Agents: A Synthetic Dataset and Three-Source Permission Architecture
Enterprise AI agents are typically granted static credential sets at configuration time, holding every tool the role might need for every task they perform. This persistent over-privilege expands the attack surface. We argue that capability scoping must follow a dynamic least-privilege principle and be treated as a prevention mechanism before a detection one. A credential that does not exist in an agent's context cannot be misused regardless of the agent's reasoning or evasion sophistication. We outline a three-source architecture instantiating this principle: role-based ceilings, a task-context classifier, and policy-derived combination prohibitions creating a layered proactive defense a...
