Find the agents you need to secure.
Before you can decide what an agent should access, you need to know that it exists. Discovery creates a working inventory of the agents, MCP servers, service accounts and integrations involved in a defined business workflow.
What to look for
- Agents running on employee devices, shared services and cloud workloads.
- MCP servers, enabled tools and the systems behind each connection.
- The owner, purpose and credentials associated with each agent.
A practical example
A team uses an agent to prepare customer summaries. The visible chat interface is only one part of the picture: the workflow also includes a local MCP server, a CRM connection and a shared service account. Recording those components makes the access review possible.
The result
A scoped agent inventory with named owners and a map of connected systems. Unconfirmed or unmanaged components become explicit follow-up items rather than assumptions.
A focused aioscope audit helps identify gaps and define next steps. Implementation, ongoing monitoring and any testing are agreed separately within an authorised scope.
