Production AI Radar

Monolithic production agents

Single agent with prod data access, external tools, and autonomous write actions.

CautionGovernanceNew
Why this ring
Matches Willison lethal trifecta - useful by default, unsafe by default. Decompose into constrained pipelines.
Production risk if ignored
Prompt injection → data exfiltration or unauthorized writes without multi-agent segmentation.
EU AI Act relevance
Conflicts with risk management and human oversight requirements.
Typical effort
days
Medium FinOps impact

Use cases

  • Autonomous ops agents
  • Customer-facing agents

Adoption steps

  1. Map agent permissions
  2. Segment read vs write tools
  3. Require human approval for external actions
  4. Monitor tool invocations
