AI models and agents

Authorization

Also known as: authorization · permissions

Determining which resources and operations an identified user or application can access.

A practical example

An employee can read reports but not publish content.

What should I know?

Identifying someone and granting permissions are different tasks.

AI models and agents in practice

A model processes information; the application defines tools and permissions. Reliable answers require good sources and verification. Actions involving accounts, content, and orders must stay within the granted scope.
