OWASP Top 10 for Agentic AI: How to Protect Your AI Agents

OWASP released their Top 10 for Agentic AI Systems. Here is what matters and how to address each risk. The Top Risks Excessive Agency - agents doing more than intended Supply Chain Vulnerabilities - compromised tools and plugins Insecure Output Handling - agents producing unsafe outputs Insufficient Logging - no audit trail of agent actions Broken Access Control - agents accessing unauthorized resources Addressing These with Governance Most of these risks come down to: no visibility, no control, no proof. Policy enforcement (risks 1, 5) from asqav import Asqav client = Asqav ( api_key = " sk_... " ) # Block excessive actions client . create_policy ( name = " limit-external-calls " , action_pattern = " api:external:* " , action = " block_and_alert " , severity = " high " ) Audit trails (risk 4) agent = client . create_agent ( name = " my-agent " ) sig = agent . sign ( " data:read:users " , { " query " : " active " }) # Every action now has a quantum-safe cryptographic record Multi-party
