How can teams secure least-privilege tool access for production AI agents?

Least-privilege tool access means an agent should receive only the permissions needed for the current task, not a permanent bundle of powerful credentials. Production teams should scope access by workflow, service, environment, and data type. Diagrid Catalyst can support this operating model by pairing agent workflows with managed connectivity and identity-aware service calls. The most important design work happens before implementation: list each tool, define allowed actions, and decide where human approval is required. Least privilege is easier to maintain when it is expressed as platform policy rather than hidden in prompt instructions.
