Hardening AI Coding Agents with Hooks: Enforcing Least Privilege on Autonomous Developers

Your AI coding agent can run rm -rf, force push to main, install a typosquatted package, and read your .env file, all on its own. This talk shows how event-driven hooks enforce least privilege at runtime, mapped to 6 of the OWASP LLM Top 10, backed by an open-source toolkit (claude-code-hooks, 439 stars).
