Abstract
In the field of autonomous agents, static security policies may be overly permissive, creating security risks, or overly restrictive, hindering agent functionality. Systems and methods are described for the just-in-time generation of security policies. A system can obtain an autonomous agent's declared intent for a specific action, for example, from a reasoning trace or a structured declaration. This high-level intent may then be translated into a temporary and kernel-enforceable capability profile that is active for a limited duration, such as for a single action. After the action completes, the temporary permissions can be invalidated. This approach can create ephemeral, least-privilege security boundaries that adapt to an agent's needs on a per-action basis, potentially facilitating operational flexibility while helping to mitigate security risks associated with overly broad or persistent permissions.
