AI Agent Policy

Autonomous AI Agent Guardrails Planned and Deployed in a Single Day

De: Daniel Stouffer

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Add safety, observability, and rollback to any AI agent in one day.

This playbook gives you a clear baseline that risk owners, architects, and operators can approve without slowing progress. You will install layered protection using the SHIELD framework: Scope, Harden, Inspect, Escalate, Log, Drill.

Short checklists and scripts make each step testable in minutes and repeatable across teams. What you will be able to do:

• Write a one-page policy pack in plain language that anyone can verify.
• Harden inputs and permissions so the agent only does the job you intend.
• Add preflight intent checks and simple human approvals for high-impact actions.
• Turn on structured logging and alerts that tell a clear story in two minutes.
• Practice a hold switch and a rollback so the team can undo changes calmly.
• Run a weekly safety review with minor improvements that compound over time.
  

Inside, you get a risk register, policy pack template, approval matrix, preflight intent record, alert thresholds, rollback script, and review trackers. Everything fits into a single day of focused work.
