You have an agent running on your local system. You want it to have access to a restricted set of things, both locally and remote. What is the technical mechanism you use to ensure that it has a subset of the access that you, as an individual logged into the same system, do?

(I am uninterested in "Don't run an agent" because while yes I see your point that doesn't mean it's not happening and security professionals have to deal with what's happening not what we want to be happening)

@mjg59 My understanding is that SPIFFE & SPIRE are designed to address this, see https://spiffe.io.

Whether they will see real-world use and implementation any time soon, that I don't know.
