Reference patterns for high-risk autonomous workflows.
Conceptual implementations for payments, shell controls, MCP boundaries, database writes, and early multi-agent handoff checks. These are reference patterns, not customer deployments.
Operational Pattern 01: Payment Threshold Authorization
Financial platforms are deploying autonomous AI agents to handle invoice matching, customer account updates, and automated payments. However, Large Language Models (LLMs) are inher

Operations and infrastructure teams leverage autonomous AI agents to parse server logs, monitor health telemetry, and restart failed cloud microservices. This requires granting the

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the emerging standard for connecting client-side IDE agents (such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or staging terminals) to local micro-tools (filesys

Data-driven agents may be granted database query capabilities to run reports, perform segmentation, or prepare updates. When using open-ended Text-to-SQL generation, the database f

Some agent systems use multi-agent collaboration graphs. A public-facing routing agent may receive raw inputs and pass work to a more privileged internal action agent. This introdu
