Checking AI agent permissions before deployment
AI agents can now reach files, shells, browsers, APIs, email, and business systems, so deployment needs a clearer permission review. FCM Trust is a local scanner for agent projects that looks for security, privacy, permission, and risks. It checks for exposed , dangerous shell behavior, broad , outside connections, unsafe tool , input and prompt-handling risks, sensitive data storage, and missing user-consent controls.
The scanner runs on the user’s own machine, does not upload the project, and does not change code automatically. Agent builders may need more than a normal software security checklist, including manual , sandboxes, permission manifests, static-analysis tools, container isolation, and agent-specific security testing.
Key points
- AI agents may access files, shells, browsers, APIs, email, and business systems.
- FCM Trust scans agent projects locally and does not upload projects or automatically edit code.
- The checks include exposed , risky shell use, broad , unsafe tool , and sensitive data storage.
- A normal software security checklist may miss risks created by and prompt handling.
- Possible review methods include manual review, sandboxes, permission manifests, , container isolation, and agent-specific tests.
