Every Agent Needs a Safety Case
Projection: before an agent receives consequential tools, it will need an evidence-backed safety case: operating envelope, threat model, permissions, evaluations, monitors, human duties, incident plan, and rollback conditions. Change the model or environment, and the case expires. Autonomy becomes a licensed configuration, not a permanent attribute.
Why this idea is here
What the evidence establishes.
The agent index documents weak transparency across deployed agents; the safety report emphasizes layered safeguards and monitoring gaps.
