Where human review belongs in an AI agent workflow

An agent workflow may combine information retrieval, planning and actions through tools. Give it a narrow goal and make the available actions explicit.

Place approval steps before actions with meaningful consequences, such as sending a customer message or changing a business record. Make the proposed action easy for a reviewer to understand.

Record enough information to investigate errors without collecting unnecessary sensitive data. Test unexpected inputs, missing information and unavailable tools alongside the successful path.
