Give AI agents the minimum access needed for a specific task, prefer short-lived OAuth tokens over static API keys, keep destructive or irreversible actions (publish, delete, payout) behind human approval, and log every credentialed action so you can audit and revoke it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The core rule is least privilege plus short-lived credentials: an AI agent should only ever hold the access it needs for the task in front of it, and that access should expire quickly rather than sit as a permanent static key. Model Context Protocol servers built on Streamable HTTP with OAuth 2.1 are designed for exactly this – the agent authenticates, gets a scoped token, and that token can be revoked or rotated without touching the underlying account credentials (MCP docs<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Playgama MCP<\/a> applies this split directly: an agent can create a game, upload builds, and publish a sandbox link, while submitting to moderation, deleting and payouts stay with a human.<\/p>\n

What should you check before granting access?<\/h2>\n
