Stop Giving Agents Raw Access: The Local Files Solution

Описание: AI Agents are here, and they are already writing code and browsing the web autonomously. But there is a major problem: Zero Governance.

Giving agents direct access to raw data (database credentials, local files, full directories) is a security nightmare. Agents are naive—they don't know what they shouldn't see. In this video, Expanso Co-founder David Aronchick demonstrates how to stop "opening up everything" and start enforcing real security and visibility for your AI agents.

🚀 What You’ll Learn
We explore how Expanso creates a secure infrastructure layer between your agents (like Open Claw, AutoGPT, or LangChain) and your data. Instead of raw access, agents communicate through governed Expanso pipelines.

Key Benefits Covered:

Secure Data Access: Isolate sensitive data (like PII) from the agent.

Complete Visibility: Full audit trails of every action the agent takes.

Optimization: Feed agents only the clean data they need, saving token costs and reducing hallucinations.

🔍 The Demo: Secret Agent Birthday Extractor
David walks through a live demo using Open Claw running on a local machine.

The Risk: An attempt to access a "Secret Data" directory containing social security numbers and addresses is blocked (Permission Denied).

The Solution: The agent requests data through an Expanso Edge pipeline ("Birthday Extractor").

The Result: Expanso filters the raw data locally, strips out sensitive info, and delivers only the birthday JSON to the agent. The agent gets what it needs to build a calendar without ever touching the restricted files.
