Course lesson · Lesson 2

The Mindshift and Security Environments

Shift from chat-tool habits to runtime thinking, and set the trust, credential, and execution boundaries before an agent touches your environment.

What you'll take away

Reframe an agent from a chat tool to a runtime, naming the memory, tool, and execution surfaces it introduces.
Map any agent deployment onto the four control layers — environment, filesystem, tool/credential, and action authority.
Set at least one explicit approval boundary for consequential actions before granting an agent access.
Draft an environment charter that states, in writing, what the agent is explicitly not allowed to do.
