The confused deputy problem with AI agents

An agent s value is proportional to the permissions it s been granted.There s been a lot of hype around solutions like default denial proxies, key vaults, and more, but nothing seems to address the core tension: an agent can be tricked into doing an attacker s bidding.The best thing I could think of was to just run an observer loop and monitor everything the agent does with another LLM, but I m curious if anyone has an elegant solution.
