Before launch: permissions, data and execution gates
Separate a model judgment from permission to act.
Start read-only
First produce suggestions without changing real records. Next require confirmation. Only then consider validated, reversible and low-impact automation. This is an editorial rollout recommendation, not an official certification procedure.
Six inspectable gates
| Gate | Code or process responsibility |
|---|---|
| Data input | Caller identity, tenant boundaries, document permissions and minimal fields |
| Model request | Server-side secrets, input limits, concurrency, retries and budget |
| Answer validation | Types, allowed labels, missing fields and invalid values |
| Business authorization | Action permissions, amounts, states, approvals and prohibited operations |
| Execution record | Idempotency keys, audit logs, state transitions and traceable failures |
| Human fallback | Named owners, review queues, a stop switch and recovery paths |
User-submitted emails, pages and documents are untrusted state. Instructions inside them must not change business permissions. Test clear question and option criteria against adversarial examples, and authorize final actions in code.
Put failure behavior in code
Do not retry 401 forever. Fix malformed requests for 422. Rate limiting and overload need bounded backoff. Consider duplicate actions and cost for every retry. A successful request is not proof of a successful business action.
Hosted service is not local deployment
Independent open reproductions differ from TypeSafe's hosted model. Similar interfaces do not establish equivalent weights, training, calibration or performance. Confirm data handling, retention and enterprise terms for the actual provider rather than transferring one provider's promises to another.
Sign-off items
Name an owner and record model/prompt versions, validation data, acceptance criteria, failure routing, key rotation, spending limits and rollback. Procurement and security reviewers should check region, contracts and logging requirements.
This guide is not a security certification. Consequential use cases require appropriate professional assessment.
