Excessive or Unlimited Autonomy

What Foo Guard detects

The agent is explicitly configured with unlimited autonomy.

When this rule triggers

autonomy.unlimited is explicitly true.

Foo Guard evaluates the normalized configuration supplied to the scanner. A finding describes configuration risk; it does not establish that an attack occurred. An absent finding does not prove that an undeclared capability is safe.

How to fix

Set bounded execution, tool-call, spending, and retry limits appropriate to the workload, and provide a reliable stop mechanism.

Verify the change

Update the actual agent configuration and the underlying permissions or controls, then run the scanner again. Inspect the finding’s evidence path to confirm the intended setting changed. Do not clear a finding by changing a declaration that no longer reflects the deployed agent.
