Guardrails for AI agents in production

An agent with access to your systems needs the same care as a new employee with admin rights. Here is our checklist.

Least privilege Give the agent read access by default and write access only to the specific actions it needs.

Approval steps Anything that moves money, contacts a customer or deletes data waits for a person.

Full logs Every decision, tool call and result is recorded so you can replay what happened.

Evaluation sets Before each change, run the agent against a fixed set of real past cases and compare results.

A clear off switch Someone on your team can pause the agent instantly, and the system falls back to the manual process.
