Can the vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes, any remote caller with valid operator.write tokens in a scoped deployment can trigger it.

What level of access is required?

Attackers must already hold authenticated operator.write scope; no owner credentials are needed.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

Reconcile authorization checks so agent-mediated calls enforce the same owner-only gates as direct invocations, ideally via centralized policy.
