Agents can act, so they can also cause incidents. Safety architecture is mandatory.
Framework
- Tool allowlist and permission model
- Validate tool outputs and enforce schemas
- Human approvals for high-risk actions
- Audit logs for every action and context
- Evaluation: success rate + failure taxonomy
Pitfalls
- Agents calling tools without validation
- No approval gates for risky actions
- No logging → impossible to investigate incidents
Portfolio deliverables
- Agent architecture diagram
- Permission matrix for tools
- Agent evaluation dashboard (success rate, tool errors, safety compliance)
Good practice
Ship a baseline + monitoring first. Then iterate with evidence.
FAQ
