Agent Type

Internal/Ops Agent

Agents built for internal operations rather than customers — typically shipped fast with a lower risk bar, but still needing a kill switch and an audit trail once they touch real systems.

The hard part isn't picking one risk bar for every agent — it's catching a risky pattern before it becomes an incident, and stopping only the run that needs to stop.
