Stop Credentialing Your AI Agents Like It's 2019

TL;DR: Your agent lives for 2 minutes. Its credential lives for 60. That mismatch is your attack surface. A broker that issues task-scoped, short-lived credentials closes the gap before the sprawl starts. AI agents are still new. Most teams are just now deploying their first agents at scale. 2026 is year one. And a lot of the identity conversation already assumes the mess exists: registries, inventories, entitlement reviews, cleanup workflows. But the mess is not inevitable. It's a choice you make at the beginning.
