Buyer Checklist: Contain Agent Blast Radius

· AgentPaaS

A practical checklist for evaluating Agent Security controls before approving agents, MCP servers, or workflows.

Before approving an agentic workload, ask how it limits what a compromised workload can reach and how the team will verify what happened.

Buyer checklist

  • Are outbound destinations declared and denied by default?
  • Do raw provider credentials stay outside agent and tool code?
  • Are packages signed with publisher identity and provenance?
  • Are containers isolated with restricted capabilities?
  • Can security inspect allowed and denied actions in an audit trail?
  • Can the team verify the exported audit evidence?
  • Are customer-owned authorization, data classification, and incident-response responsibilities clear?

AgentPaaS maps this checklist to an end-to-end path: build, package, deploy, run, govern, and audit. The Agent Security proof is isolated containers, default-deny egress, gateway-brokered credentials, signed bundles, and tamper-evident audit.
