Hacker News debate: least-privilege access for AI agents to cloud files

Original: Ask HN: Allow agents access to cloud files with least privilege?

A Hacker News discussion asks whether AI agents should be granted access to cloud-stored files under least-privilege principles, limiting what each agent can read or write. Commenters are weighing how to scope permissions for autonomous tools without exposing sensitive data, and whether existing identity and access management frameworks are adequate for machine agents.

Why now: Growing deployment of AI agents is raising fresh security questions about granting them narrowly scoped access to cloud storage.
