The agent borrows the user's identity, scoped to the task

A service account with every permission is how an injected instruction turns into an incident. Exchange the user's token for one scoped to the task and pointed at a single downstream, and let that downstream enforce the user's own permissions.

grant_type=token-exchange  subject=user  actor=agent
audience=crm  scope=contacts:read

Then the audit log says who did what, through which agent. An auditor won't accept "the agent did it" as an entry.
