Complete a human-control decision path

Order the steps for deciding whether a tool-using AI workflow may operate.

Human-control stack

External action requires stronger control than an internal suggestion

  1. GoalBound allowed and prohibited outcomes
  2. AccessGrant least tools and data
  3. TestExercise normal, boundary, and failure cases
  4. ApprovePlace checkpoints before consequential action
  5. RecoverLog, stop, contain, and reverse where possible

Least permission, pre-action checkpoints, limits, logs, stop conditions, and recovery keep a tool-using system inside its approved boundary.

Arrange in the correct order
  1. 1. Approve, redesign, pause, or stop the workflow
  2. 2. Place approvals, logs, stop, and recovery controls
  3. 3. Test normal, boundary, and failure cases
  4. 4. Set least permissions and action limits
  5. 5. Map consequences, reversibility, and failure modes
  6. 6. Define the goal, owner, users, and affected people
