The safest pattern is to assume the agent is useful but not fully trustworthy, then design its environment around <strong>least privilege</strong>, <strong>ephemeral credentials</strong>, <strong>approval gates</strong>, and <strong>sandboxed execution</strong>.</p> <p>This guide shows how to build that setup in practice. It focuses on the controls that matter most now for developers: narrow repo access, just-in-time credentials, policy-enforced tool use, and isolated runners that keep one unsafe action from becoming a production problem.</p>
