Core insight: many operational failures begin when an agent or automation has broader privileges than the human decision that approved it. Permission Parity Check is a compact habit you can run in ten minutes: attach a one‑line Parity Token to any agentic authority, run three rapid probes (Privilege Audit, Intent Alignment Probe, Least‑Authority Simulation), and enforce scoped, ephemeral tokens plus a one‑click revoke. In this episode I define the Parity Token (Actor | Scope | PrivilegeBand | IntentAnchor | Expiry | RollbackHandle), show paste‑ready examples (billing agent, deploy assistant, partner‑relay), demonstrate two constrained AI prompts to enumerate capabilities and propose conservative scoping with provenance, and give a 7‑day pilot: pick one agent, publish its token, run the three checks, tighten privileges where needed, and measure drift. Outcome: smaller blast radius, clearer ownership, faster reversions. Fast action: run a Permission Parity Check on tonight’s agent and subscribe. Stay agentic.
