This module explores the critical security boundaries in agentic AI architectures. You will learn how to map the trust relationships between the LLM planner, the tool executor, and the external environment. Through advanced threat modeling and real-world scenarios, you will master techniques to prevent privilege escalation, unauthorized tool chaining, and environment escape in autonomous systems.
