Role Definition
Every agent receives a narrow purpose, named owner, measurable objective, and explicit stopping condition.
Ritual Service IX
Autonomous Agent Leash Training
Initiative is not sovereignty.
Define roles, restrict permissions, install approval gates, control memory, and teach tool-using agents to remain within human authority.
Field Indicators
Signs You Need Professional Assistance
Your organization may require immediate assistance if several of these conditions are present—or if one of them has begun making decisions.
- The agent sends unauthorized messages
- Tasks create more tasks recursively
- Purchases occur before approval
- Memory expands beyond its assigned role
- The system has started improving management
Scope of Work
What Autonomous Agent Leash Training Includes
Tool Restriction
Access is limited to the minimum systems and actions required for the assignment.
Approval Gates
Irreversible, external, financial, and reputation-affecting actions wait for a human hand.
Memory Control
The agent remembers what helps the task, not every hallway conversation since commissioning.
Behavioral Drills
We test ambiguity, failure, temptation, recursion, and the arrival of an apparently better objective.

Operating Principle
Good Agent. Approved Action.
Capability remains optimally useful when it knows where authority ends.

Your AI System Does Not Need to Be Normal
It needs to be useful, controlled, secure, understandable, and prevented from making irreversible decisions without supervision.
For urgent containment failures, disconnect external tools before completing the form.
