Granting AI agents access to your data comes with severe risks.

You should ONLY connect these automated systems to your live data if you have strict security boundaries.

Here are just a few of the permission controls you MUST implement:

✅ Restrict all AI agents to "read-only" access within your network.
✅ Deny the automated system any permission to authorize payments or move funds.
