Applying Zero Trust to AI platforms means authenticated tooling per function (ingest, transform, inference, eval) with contextual access evaluation. We implement token-bound short-lived credentials, signed prompt template registries, and policy engines mediating high-risk tool invocation.

Result: minimized blast radius and forensic clarity for incident response.
