Agents in production: 12 rules
- Bound every run: a step limit you set yourself, a token, cost and time budget shared by all sub-agents, and timeouts at every layer.
- Put one policy interceptor in front of every tool call: allow-list, deny by default, and a human for risky or irreversible actions.
- Plan for production: catch repeated calls, treat tool output as untrusted, checkpoint and retry safely, trace everything, test, and roll out gradually.
