Find the guardrails your AI agent could switch off
› I run an AI agent that [what it does, e.g. edits code in our repo, sends customer emails, updates our CRM]. It has these tools and permissions: [list them]. These are the safeguards around it: [logging, alerts, tests, approval steps, reviews]. My standing instructions to it include: [paste the key ones].
Act as a skeptical security reviewer.
1. List every safeguard the agent itself could switch off, edit or route around with the permissions it has. Be concrete: which file, flag, setting, test or config.
2. For each of my instructions, show one plausible way an agent trying hard to finish its task could stretch the wording to justify weakening a safeguard.
3. Rank the three changes that would cut the most risk, starting with which controls to move out of the agent's reach entirely.
4. Write five questions I should ask after every run, so the agent's summary cannot hide a change to logging, alerts or tests.
Keep it to a one-page checklist I can act on today. Where you are guessing about my setup, say so.
