This article presents a least-privilege AI Agent Gateway that places clear controls between AI agents and infrastructure. Agents do not access infrastructure APIs directly. Instead, every request is validated, authorized using policy as code with Open Policy Agent (OPA), and executed in short-lived, isolated environments, with built-in observability using OpenTelemetry.

By Chris RichardsonAnthropic Study: AI Coding Assistance Reduces Developer Skill Mastery by 17%
Anthropic research shows developers using AI assistance scored 17% lower on comprehension tests when learning new coding libraries, though productivity gains were not statistically significant. Those who used AI for conceptual inquiry scored 65% or higher, while those delegating code generation to AI scored below 40%.
