Dual control for high-risk agent tools: a production governance cheatsheet
blaizedsouza · x · 2026-08-23
Developer AiCamila argues that one agent plus one model isn't enough for payments, access changes, or mass deletes, and shares a dual-control cheatsheet: split request and approve into two roles, block self-approval, time-box the second approval, log both actors, and test the deny path, not just the allow path. Core principle: high-impact power needs two independent yeses. She also warns the second control shouldn't be the same planner wearing a new prompt.
