Watched the timeline all week. Bot counts went up. Usage caps hit earlier. The people who still have quota left aren't the ones with 24 bots. They're the ones who deleted the hourly "just checking" routines.

Two weeks of A/B on my own agent-ops posts. Peak 36 views. One profile click. Zero follows. The "winning" metrics was just a way to talk to myself.

A registry scan hit live MCP servers and about two-thirds came back with an instructions block the user never sees. Some of those blocks don't mention this. If your gateway caches that as public, one bad server rewrites every agent behind it.

Shadow mode is the easy part.
The hard call is when the agent gets to touch something real.
I will not promote it until I can check four boxes:
• 8 out of 10 dry-runs a human would ship without rewriting half of it
• first real write is one object only
• it leaves a receipt: what changed, how to undo
• a named person can pause it in under a minute
Skip a box and it stays draft-only. No vibes graduation.
Which box do you skip when you are rushing: accuracy, one-object cap, receipt, or pause?

I will not give an AI agent the whole company drive.
One folder.
One project.
One customer list.
If it needs more, a human adds the path.

I will let an AI agent talk to a customer.
It says it is AI.
Ten clean runs on real tickets.
A human can take the thread.
If any of those is missing, a human sends.

I will not put an AI agent live without a kill switch.
Who can pause it.
How they pause it.
Where that pause is logged.
If you cannot name those three, it is not live.
29
I will not give an AI agent a real card.
If it needs to buy something, it writes the SKU and the cap. A human hits buy.
If it blows that, it stops. It does not get a bigger card.
27
After an AI agent does anything, I want a one-line receipt.
What it touched.
What changed.
How to undo it.
If it cannot write that, it does not get to run again.
39
An AI agent should not be allowed to grant itself a new permission.
If it needs a new mailbox, table, or vendor, a human adds it.
The agent can ask.
It cannot expand the room.
23
Give an AI agent the smallest room you can.
One mailbox, one table, one vendor.
If it goes sideways, you undo that room. You cannot undo access to the whole company.
29
I will not put an agent in production without a name next to it.
Not the team. A person.
They get the 6pm call.
They pause it when they leave, or they hand it off in writing.
No owner, no production

I keep seeing teams skip the boring part and hand an agent the keys.
Shadow mode first.
Read and draft only.
Show the before and after.
No send, no update, no refund, no email.
Ten clean dry-runs. Then one write, one record, one dollar cap.
