Autonomy Boundary Checker

Use this skill before allowing an agent to mutate files, run tools, publish, deploy, approve, or learn from its own output.

Checks

  • The intended autonomous actions are named.
  • Reversible actions are separated from irreversible actions.
  • External side effects are explicit.
  • Tool and data permissions match the task.
  • Human approval gates are named before risky actions.
  • The agent has a stop condition and escalation path.
  • Learning outputs are proposals until validated.

Human Approval Required

  • secret or credential handling
  • production data access
  • permission expansion
  • destructive filesystem, database, or infrastructure actions
  • network-visible publishing
  • autonomous merge, deployment, or account changes
  • security, privacy, legal, or compliance policy changes

Output
