Which posts are tagged guardrails?
AI Agents How do I stop an agent from doing something destructive
Stop destructive agent actions with a blast-radius table, an allowlisted tool set, and dual control on money and delete, enforced in code before the tool runs.
AI Agents How do I set policies for what agents can and cannot do
Write a named-owner catalog that returns allow, deny, or pending-approval before every tool, then fail closed if that catalog cannot load. Not legal advice.
AI Agents How do I monitor AI agents in production
Monitor production agents on traces, tool errors, cost per turn, human rewrite rate, and policy denials — not chatbot thumbs. That is the ops scoreboard.
Websites How do you keep clients from breaking the design in the CMS
Keep clients from breaking CMS design with locked components, field caps, image rules, no raw HTML, preview, and Editor seats — not Designer access on Tuesdays.
AI Agents Pre-Execution Policy Gates: The Kill Switch That Lives Outside the Prompt
Your agent’s kill switch is a pre-execution policy gate outside the prompt: allow, deny, or pending-approval before side effects — fail closed on outages.
