More words from this lesson
- Authorization
- Checking what that identity is allowed to read or do. Being logged in does not grant access to every record.
- Tenant
- A customer or organization whose data must stay separate from other customers in a shared application.
- Trace
- A linked record of the steps in one request, including model calls, retrieval and tools. It helps locate delays or failures.
- Map every trust boundary: UI, uploads, parser, retrieval, memory, provider, tools, business APIs, caches, and traces.
- Minimize information and authority, enforce tenant/object/action checks, constrain egress, validate schemas and rules, and test adversarial content.
Key architecture: model proposal → allowlisted tool → authorization → validation → business service → data. The model's refusal behavior supports defense but does not enforce backend permission.
