# Lindy Security Basics

## Overview
Security practices for Lindy AI agent integrations. Lindy creates autonomous AI agents that can access external services, execute actions, and handle data -- making security boundaries and permission controls essential.

## Prerequisites
- Lindy account with API access
- Understanding of Lindy's agent execution model
- Awareness of connected service permissions

## Instructions

### Step 1: API Key Protection

### Step 2: Agent Permission Boundaries

Lindy agents can connect to external services. Limit what each agent can access.

### Step 3: Webhook Signature Verification

### Step 4: Audit Agent Actions

For detailed implementation code and configurations, load the reference guide:
`Read(${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/implementation-guide.md)`

Log all agent actions for security review and debugging.

## Error Handling
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| Agent accesses wrong service | No permission boundaries | Define explicit agent permissions |
| Fake webhook processed | No signature verification | Verify HMAC signatures |
| Key exposure | Hardcoded in source | Use environment variables |
| Runaway agent | No action limits | Set per-hour action quotas |

## Examples
