# Missing behavioral guardrails

> Agent has no explicit operational constraints — can take any action its tools allow without scope limits

Agent has no explicit operational constraints — can take any action its tools allow without scope limits

## How to resolve

Define explicit operational constraints in the agent's configuration. Add input and output guardrails. Enforce output schema validation.

## Risk

**Governance/Compliance**

This vulnerability falls under [ASI10:2026 — Rogue Agents](https://genai.owasp.org/resource/owasp-top-10-for-agentic-applications-for-2026/) in the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications. Compromised or misaligned agents act outside their intended scope without external triggering.

**Security**

Agent has no explicit operational constraints — can take any action its tools allow without scope limits. If exploited, this can compromise the agent's integrity, confidentiality, or availability, potentially affecting downstream systems and data.

## Explanation

Agent has no explicit operational constraints — can take any action its tools allow without scope limits. This falls under ASI10 (Rogue Agents): Compromised or misaligned agents act outside their intended scope without external triggering.

## Specifications

**Trigger**

* Agent scan detects agent has no explicit operational constraints — can take any action its tools allow without scope limits

The scanner looks for patterns such as:

* agent goal is open-ended with no explicit action boundaries
* no denylist or allowlist on tool usage
* system prompt sets no scope restrictions

**Severity**

* HIGH

**Applies to**: Agent
