Regulated Autonomy Sandbox

Interactive concept explorer for AI governance tradeoffs

Target Context

Production environments typically require stricter controls.

Permission Layers

Prompt Permissions
Who can instruct the agent to attempt an action?

In regulated environments, not everyone who uses the system should be able to direct AI actions.

Execution Permissions
What is the agent authorized to do?
Read
Write
Delete
Approval Requirements
Who must sign off before execution?
Create records
Update records

Separation of duties is a key control in financial and healthcare systems.

Confidence-Gated Autonomy

How much should the agent's confidence level affect its autonomy?

More ControlMore Autonomy
90%

Above this confidence, agent can act with minimal oversight

70%

In this range, agent queues actions for human review

Below medium threshold, agent blocks and requests explicit approval

Actions exceeding this require additional approval

Sensitive Data Detection

Flag actions involving PII, financial data, or health records

Actions touching sensitive fields require approval regardless of confidence

Current Policy Summary

This agent can be instructed by Admin and Developer. It can read all data and create records, update records, but cannot delete.

Actions above 90% confidence will auto-execute if they affect fewer than 10 records. All other write actions require manager approval.

Autonomous execution is limited to business hours and 20 actions per hour.
