Staying Safe: AI Agent Security Checklist

Here’s a quick checklist you can copy into your own agents:

  • Store API keys in environment variables, never hard‑code.
  • Validate and sanitise all incoming data.
  • Implement rate limiting (e.g., 10 requests/second).
  • Log activity and monitor for anomalies.
  • Review permissions weekly and revoke unused tokens.
  • Keep dependencies up‑to‑date.
