Why this matters now
Agent risk is not only model accuracy. It includes bad data, unclear accountability, sensitive information, customer impact, financial exposure, and whether mistakes are easy to detect.

What you should be able to do after this
- Identify risky actions
- Choose approval levels
- Plan monitoring
- Decide what not to automate
What to work through
1. Identify sensitive actions
Flag anything that sends customer messages, changes CRM records, updates billing, makes promises, or touches private data.
2. Rate impact and reversibility
A mistake that can be reviewed and undone is lower risk than one that reaches a customer, regulator, or payment system.
3. Set approval levels
Use draft-only, human approval, sampled review, or automatic action depending on risk and confidence.
4. Define failure handling
Write rules for missing data, conflicting sources, uncertain answers, low confidence, and escalations.
5. Monitor after launch
Track edits, overrides, customer complaints, failed tool calls, and examples that should update the workflow.
Mistakes to avoid
- Treating all agent actions as equal risk.
- Allowing customer-facing automation before review metrics exist.
- Hiding failures instead of logging them.
- Forgetting privacy and permission boundaries.
FAQ
When can an agent act without approval?
Only when the action is low-risk, reversible, well-tested, logged, and monitored with a clear owner.
Does human review remove all risk?
No. Review reduces risk, but the reviewer still needs clear criteria, source visibility, and enough time to inspect the work.
