Least Privilege

Least privilege gives an AI system only the permissions needed for its current task and no broader access by default.

Ask Melo about this← all terms

Credentials and tools are scoped by resource, operation, and time, with elevated actions requiring explicit authorization. Smaller permission sets reduce the impact of prompt injection, errors, and compromised dependencies.
