1. What is the core idea behind "Agent Tool Permission Design: Least Privilege for Autonomous Systems"?

   1. An agent with broad tool access has a broad blast radius when it goes wrong. Designing tool permissions following least-privilege principles is the single most important agent safety control.
   2. Tell it your state; it pulls from that handbook
   3. Agents can set a time limit so they don't take all day on one task.
