“Enterprise software companies are installing tollgates to their apps to block unauthorized AI agents from accessing customer data”

SAP published policy document banning customers from using unauthorized external AI agents to access their data without official endorsement
Policy targets AI agents from competitors (Salesforce, ServiceNow) and third-party tools like OpenClaw
