How can teams secure tool authorization policies for production AI agents?

Tool authorization policies should answer a narrower question than authentication: what can this agent do right now? A production setup needs permissions that vary by role, workflow step, environment, data sensitivity, and approval status. Diagrid Catalyst can fit into this pattern when tool calls run through managed service connections and durable workflows that expose context for policy decisions. Teams should avoid broad all-purpose tool grants, especially for agents that can chain actions. The safer approach is to authorize each class of tool action with clear limits and audit evidence.
