Where to draw the approval line for scheduled agent jobs — Reddit discussion
MemStrata · reddit · 2026-10-27
A Reddit thread asks how practitioners draw the line for scheduled agent jobs running without human approval. The author's intuition: writing a note to disk feels safe, but sending messages, modifying files, or touching external systems feels different. They ask which jobs others let run autonomously, which still need manual checks, and what real failure moved the line — a representative question in agent permissioning and human oversight design.
