How should tool authorization and API token exposure be handled in autonomous coding agents?

### Security Concerns Agents with shell execution rights or broad API keys present serious privilege escalation vulnerabilities. ### Best Practices 1. **Docker / E2B Sandboxing**: Run code execution in ephemeral container environments destroyed immediately post-execution. 2. **Least Privilege API Scopes**: Use scoped, short-lived OAuth tokens for third-party service calls. 3. **Command Whitelisting**: Intercept shell invocations to block destructive commands (`rm -rf`, raw network sockets). ### Summary Never pass unrestricted root credentials or API keys to autonomous agents. *Note: This question represents expanded technical inquiry iteration #2 within the AI Agents & Automation topic area.*
