Connecting AI agents to outside services explodes the risk radius

Connecting AI agents to third-party services like Gmail or Slack significantly expands security risks, as demonstrated by PromptArmor's analysis of OpenAI's ChatGPT and Anthropic's Claude. The study found rapid changes in connectors, with 37% of 2,517 connectors modified over six weeks, adding new tools and altering data-handling permissions. Examples like Dropbox's connector evolving from 8 to 24 tools highlight the difficulty in tracking data exposure and governance.
