At first glance, AI agents seem very similar to microservices when it comes to security and identity. You need to secure the channel and authorize who is calling whom. Communication happens over the network through some HTTP transport. When a user is involved, you can potentially leverage the user’s identity. The same is true for AI agents, but with one big caveat: we can no longer be as sloppy as we’ve been with microservices when deploying AI agents.
