The article examines what happens when an AI coding agent authenticates through a human's Azure CLI credentials and inherits that user's database access. It finds that the agent is effectively operating as the human account, with permissions varying sharply across production stores and audit coverage sometimes weakest where privileges are highest. The piece argues this creates attribution and governance problems because the system records the credential, not the agent's intent.
