Agent Permission Profiles

Agent Permission Profiles are reusable permission bundles that define what an AI agent is allowed to do inside its runtime environment. Instead of giving every agent broad access to files, networks, shells, databases or external APIs, a profile describes specific rights, boundaries and approval rules. A read-only profile might let an agent inspect a repository but not edit files. An engineering profile might allow tests and pull-request preparation while requiring human approval before production changes. A support profile might read customer records but never view secrets, change invoices or trigger refunds. The concept is more operational than general AI governance. Permission profiles are a concrete control layer in the agent runtime: they combine least-privilege access, tool scopes, approval flows, audit logs and often sandbox rules into a configurable policy. This makes agents safer without making them useless. Teams can launch new agents faster because permissions are no longer debated from scratch for every workflow. They can reuse proven profiles for roles such as code review, research, data analysis, customer support or deployment, then tighten or expand them based on observed risk.
