How to gate Agent actions in production environments?
Excellent-Park-1160 · reddit · 2026-08-17
The author discusses security challenges when integrating coding agents into production systems like Stripe or email:
- Policy Governance: Moving from simple if/else wrappers to a separate policy layer (Policy as code), asking if anyone uses OPA.
- Human-in-the-loop: Seeking non-blocking approval workflows instead of slow Slack messages.
- Credential Management: Avoiding long-lived API keys to prevent prompt injection risks, and scoping credentials per action.
The author mentions building lumaq.dev in this space and seeks community best practices.
