Grantex State of AI Agent Security 2026: 93% of 30 Agent Frameworks Use Unscoped API Keys, 0% Have Per-Agent Identity
A systematic audit of 30 popular AI agent projects by Grantex found 93% use unscoped API keys, 0% assign unique cryptographically verifiable identity to each agent instance, only 13% include any action logging, and 97% lack user consent mechanisms. In multi-agent frameworks, child agents either inherit full parent credentials or get independent keys — no project implements scope narrowing, depth limits, or cascade revocation. The report triggered significant HN discussion (item 47388873) and corroborates the RSAC 2026 finding that 45.6% of teams still rely on shared API keys for agent-to-agent authentication.
