Empirical Evaluation of Task-Based Permission Scoping Architecture for AI Agents

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.
