✓ Correct answers
- Use identity-based authentication instead of keys where supported
- Give each agent only the downstream permissions required for its approved tools
Use identity-based authentication instead of keys where supported: This reduces reliance on stored shared credentials. Give each agent only the downstream permissions required for its approved tools: Least privilege constrains the agent access boundary. Place a shared privileged key in the system prompt: Prompts are not a protected credential store. Let every agent inherit the platform owner role: Owner rights create excessive authority unrelated to task needs. Treat model-provider trust as data-access permission: Model approval does not grant an agent authorization to data.
