The outcome
Operate an agentic workflow whose inputs, actions, approvals, and failures remain observable and recoverable.
Step by step
A workflow you can repeat.
- 01
Select the trigger and define accepted senders, payload schema, rate limit, sensitive fields, duplicate key, and expected response time.
- 02
Filter malformed, unauthorized, bot-generated, or repeated events before the Run an agent module and map only the fields the task requires.
- 03
Require structured agent output and route proposed external actions through validation, policy checks, and human approval when impact is meaningful.
- 04
Add bounded retries, error handlers, idempotency, timeouts, and an alert path so a provider or tool failure cannot repeat an action silently.
- 05
Run shadow tests, review scenario history and credit use, redact retained payloads, then publish gradually with an owner and rollback switch.
Working standard
What good use looks like.
- Filter before invoking the model.
- Separate proposals from consequential actions.
- Make every retry idempotent.
