A malicious tool description can turn a well-authenticated AI agent into a confused deputy. How MCP tool poisoning works, why login handshakes alone don't stop it, and the broker pattern that does.

MCP's OAuth handshake proves an agent connected to your server. It says nothing about what a tool description talked the agent into doing next. Why MCP incidents keep happening at the tool layer, and how a broker closes the gap.

A valid MCP token doesn't mean a wise call. The confused deputy problem in agentic AI, and how a broker enforces policy on every tool call, not just the connection.

A2A lets one AI agent configure another system, not just call its tools — a bigger blast radius than MCP. Here's the handshake and credential carve-out that makes it safe.

The A2A protocol standardizes how AI agents authenticate to each other. What the handshake proves, what it doesn't, and why every call still needs a broker behind it.

Every team wiring an AI agent to an API mints its own credential. Nobody centrally counts them. Here's why shadow AI agents are a data-ownership and traceability problem, not just a security one — and how a broker fixes it.

AI agents rarely fail by being unauthenticated. They fail by losing track of whose data they're touching. Three real failure patterns in agentic AI, and how a credential broker enforces data ownership on every call.

Agentic actions rarely stay inside one agent. Here's the difference between observability and traceability for multi-agent AI, and how to trace one task across every hop it triggers.

A sloppy login handshake is how an AI agent ends up reading data it never should have touched. What authentication and data ownership need to look like for agentic AI — and where a credential broker fits.

1Password acquired Apono and shipped a Credential Broker for AI agents. Standing keys are over — here's why, and where brokering at issuance differs from brokering every call.

ISO/IEC 42001 asks you to govern what your AI systems do. A credential broker turns several Annex A controls into enforced policy — here's the honest mapping.

When an AI agent acts on your behalf, you need to answer which agent did what, when, and for whom. Here's how a cryptographically chained audit log makes that answer trustworthy.

Why handing an AI agent a long-lived API key is a liability, and how short-lived, scoped credentials give agents exactly the access they need — and nothing more.
