Access reviews increasingly need to cover agent tools and automations
Security teams are extending identity and permission reviews to the tools agents can call, not just the people and service accounts behind them.

Traditional access reviews focus on people, roles, and service accounts. Agent-based systems introduce another layer: the tools and workflows those identities can trigger automatically.
The review surface is getting wider
Security teams increasingly need to verify not only who has access, but which agent-connected actions remain available, how they are constrained, and whether those permissions still match current business need.
Tool access is now a governance question
As agents interact with more systems, tool reviews become essential to least-privilege enforcement. Ignoring that layer creates blind spots that ordinary IAM reviews will miss.
