arXiv:2607. 01510v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents that autonomously execute tool calls on a user's behalf raise pressing questions about permission management: what role could users play, and what role should they play?

The paper evaluates a task-based permission scoping architecture for AI agents, comparing a fine‑tuned RoBERTa‑large encoder to few‑shot Claude Haiku 4.5 on a 600‑prompt dataset. It shows the new system achieves comparable macro‑F1 (0.881 vs. 0.886) and higher precision (0.897 vs. 0.842), while reducing severity‑weighted residual risk from 1.12 to 0.63. The study also introduces an attack‑surface elimination metric, demonstrating that task‑granular control can close 84.4% of the severity‑weighted surface, far surpassing role‑based ceilings alone.

The paper introduces skilder, a framework that organizes LLM agent capabilities into role‑scoped bundles of skills, tools, and instructions, with explicit limits. Agents start with a minimal role catalog, discover the roles needed for a task, and receive the associated tools only through a single MCP server, ensuring deterministic enforcement of scope. Experiments on 13 tasks with six models show that skilder’s authorization layer prevents unauthorized tool calls and parameter violations while maintaining flexibility through dynamic cross‑role capability acquisition.

The paper introduces authorization‑paired evaluation and the FlowReview framework to address safety issues in multi‑agent systems where shared evidence can enable prohibited uses. By jointly enforcing blocking of prohibited actions and completion of authorized ones, FlowReview connects object resolution, permission ranking, and deterministic enforcement. Experiments show that reviewing combined artifacts can eliminate denied‑commit rates without sacrificing authorized supply, highlighting the need to link object identity and permission to execution for safe collaboration.
