Control what agents
can know and do.

Define access before sharing context

ACN spaces organize context by purpose. Grants define which principal may use it and which rights apply. Give each agent only the access its task needs, and test a denied operation as well as a successful read.

Place approvals before consequential actions

Reading a policy, proposing a decision and executing an action are different permissions. Define which actions an agent can prepare and which require confirmation.

Use capability contracts and workflows to make approval boundaries explicit. Test refusal, delay and expired approval, not only the successful path.

Keep evidence that explains the operation

For a reviewed operation, retain the relevant rule version, acting identity, approval and execution result. Your logging and retention design must protect sensitive information while giving reviewers enough context to understand what happened.

For a launch review, agree an architecture overview, access matrix, data responsibilities and operational procedures with the security and operations teams.

Prepare for failure and recovery

Name the owner for incidents, define escalation and rehearse recovery. Review technology dependencies, backup behavior and the handling of work that stopped halfway through.

Platform permissions are one part of your control framework. They do not, by themselves, certify the security or regulatory compliance of your service.
