Connecting AI agents to outside services explodes the risk radius

The article warns that integrating AI agents with third‑party connectors (like Gmail, Slack, Dropbox, Zoom) dramatically increases security risk by introducing access to private data, exposure to untrusted content, and external communication paths. PromptArmor's analysis found frequent and large-scale changes to connectors—new tools, rewritten descriptions, added subprocessors and tracking-like data flows—that can invalidate governance assumptions and enable data exfiltration or unintended destructive actions, while vendor security controls may not cover downstream third‑party processing.
