Agents Guides
Bound autonomy and require humans for high-impact actions. These guides support APRF Agent Governance, Human Approval, and Tool Safety.
Autonomy bounds, A2A trust, and human oversight — APRF Agents & Autonomy.
For eval gates and versioned prompts, see AI Lifecycle guides.
- Agent Autonomy Limits and Kill Switches
Unbounded agents loop, spend, and escalate. Production agents need charters, autonomy caps, and a real kill switch—not hope.
- Human Approval for High-Impact AI Tool Calls
If an agent can refund customers, delete data, or page production without a human in the loop, you are past APRF Human Approval expectations for high-impact actions.
- MCP and Tool Allowlists in Production AI
MCP and function calling are powerful—and dangerous when every tool is enabled. Production agents need an allowlist, argument validation, and server-side authorization.
