What do you re-check in the last moment before an AI agent acts?
Portotify · reddit · 2026-09-18
Production agent stacks typically have identity, tool permissions, approvals, and audit logs — but what happens at the very last moment before an action executes? The author raises the gap between approval and execution: CRM records change, spending limits run out, approvals get revoked, or arguments no longer match what was approved. Discussion covers whether to re-validate the specific action and arguments right before execution, and where that check should live architecturally — gateway, policy engine, tool runtime, or application layer.
