What happenedThis article explains the importance of AI agent guardrails, which are rules and controls that limit what AI bots can access, do, and say. It proposes a 'permission ladder' with three rungs (Read, Draft, Send) to manage bot access, emphasizing that most bots should remain on Read or Draft, with Send permissions granted only after a proven track record and clear human oversight.
