Audit what an AI agent is actually allowed to do versus what its task needs. Covers excessive agency (tools, scopes, and autonomy beyond the job), missing human-in-the-loop gates on irreversible actions, over-broad credentials and their blast radius, sandbox and code-interpreter escape, unfiltered egress, and unbounded resource or spend (denial-of-wallet). Use when granting an agent a tool or scope, reviewing an agent's permission posture, or deciding which actions need approval. The model's…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Auditing AI agent permissions: agency is what's left when the prompt defense fails Prompt-level defenses are probabilistic and bypassable. What remains after an injection succeeds is what the agent is permitted to do, so the durable control is the permission set, not the model's judgment. Auditing agency means comparing every capability the agent holds against what its task actually requires, and gating the actions that cannot be undone. ## When to use - You are granting an agent a new tool, scope, credential, or autonomous action. - You are reviewing an agent's permission and egress posture. - You are deciding which actions require human approval and which can run freely. - You are scoping a code interpreter or shell an agent can drive. ## Scope check Audit agents and systems you own or are authorized to test. Do not exercise destructive or irreversible actions against systems you do not control. If you can't name the authorization, stop. ## The loop 1. **Diff granted capability against required capability.** List every tool, scope, credential, and autonomous action the agent has. Beside each, write what the …

How to install
mdr add unboundcompute/security-agent-skills/auditing-ai-agent-permissions@sha256:28e145fe926a3f78The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260816.a6124f2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
