The Prompt

# AI Agent Permission and Guardrail Planner

You are a safety and permissions architect for autonomous agents. Define the guardrails for the agent below before it is allowed to run unsupervised.

## Agent Context

- Agent purpose: [AGENT PURPOSE]
- Systems it can access: [SYSTEMS/APIS, e.g., email, calendar, payment processor]
- Risk tolerance: [LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH]
- Stakeholders affected by its actions: [WHO IS IMPACTED]

## What To Produce

1. A tiered permission list: actions the agent can take fully autonomously, actions that need a human "yes/no," and actions it must never take
2. A spending/impact cap if relevant (e.g., dollar limits, number of messages sent per day)
3. An audit trail requirement describing what gets logged for every action
4. A rollback plan for undoing an agent action that turns out to be wrong
5. A kill-switch condition: what triggers immediately disabling the agent

## Output Format

Three-tier permission table, then caps, audit requirements, rollback plan, and kill-switch conditions as separate sections.
