Start with a bounded dry run, logs, and a manual stop path before enabling recurring or unattended execution.

External messages

Keep human review before sending public posts, customer messages, trading instructions, or team notifications.

Runtime access

Check filesystem, shell, browser, repository, and server permissions before granting the agent write access.
