A Teardown of Claude Tag's Agent Identity Concept (opens in new tab)

Anthropic's recent post on Agent Identity for Claude Tag [ is, to put it mildly, a bad idea. For the uninitiated, "Agent identity" is the idea of giving a multiplayer AI agent a static set of privileges that are defined per-channel or per-group ACL, regardless of who is interacting with it. This means that either the AI is useless or is a "confused deputy" security risk waiting to blow. Calling "Agent Identity" a new paradigm is disingenuous
