Autonomy needs boundaries.

Reliable agents use narrow capabilities, observable state transitions, bounded retries, human approval gates, and recovery paths—not merely longer persona prompts.

Safe architecture

1. Separate trusted rules from untrusted data.
2. Grant least-privilege tools.
3. Separate read, draft, approve, and execute.
4. Use idempotency keys for mutations.
5. Record redacted actions and outcomes.
