The Agent Containment Playbook
How much production authority should one banking AI agent hold?
Work through five documented steps to map inputs, scope permissions, assess exposure, assemble assurance evidence, and plan incident response.
Five steps to an authority decision
Use the playbook for one proposed workflow at a time. Each step produces a document the review team can examine.
Design permissions and scope
Derive the entitlement set from the task and record the permissions withheld.
Map exposure and reversal
Classify actions, quantify exposure, and name the checkpoints that contain a wrong action.
Assemble assurance evidence
Plan regression tests, shadow comparison, a bounded canary, and red-team review.
Plan incident response
Name the classification owner, reporting route, remediation path, and kill-switch authority.
