The outcome

Prevent a model from autonomously performing irreversible or sensitive actions in production.

Step by step

A workflow you can repeat.

  1. 01

    Classify each tool as read-only, reversible, sensitive, or irreversible and define allowed approve, edit, and reject decisions.

  2. 02

    Configure human-in-the-loop middleware for consequential tools and use a persistent production checkpointer with isolated thread IDs.

  3. 03

    Present reviewers with the exact tool, arguments, affected resource, model rationale, and policy context without exposing secrets.

  4. 04

    Test approval, edited arguments, rejection, expiration, duplicate resume, process restart, and unauthorized reviewer paths.

  5. 05

    Trace decisions, tool results, latency, errors, and cost with retention controls, then alert on bypasses and repeated failures.

Working standard

What good use looks like.

  • Gate effects, not just prompts.
  • Use durable state for pauses.
  • Make reviewer identity auditable.
