What you'll learn
Give every agent its own identity
Each agent signs in with its own scoped credentials, never a shared key.
Check each action against the user's permissions
The agent sees and does only what the person it works for may.
Block prompt injection hidden in your data
Catch an instruction planted in an issue before the agent follows it.
Why this topic matters
An agent that can read your issues and docs can also leak them, or obey an instruction hidden inside them. Most teams give every agent one shared API key and hope the prompt holds. Live, I give each agent its own identity in Keycloak, check every action against the user's permissions with OpenFGA, and block a prompt injection planted in a GitHub issue.
