What is an AI agent?
Understand the model, tools, environment, and loop that make an agent.
AI Engineering tool
Agent Permission Designer
Classify an agent action by access, reversibility, approval, and automation before granting it a tool.
Runs in your browser with editable illustrative assumptions. It does not call a model, send entered content to a server, or produce a current market quote.

Agent permission designer
Permission design should make the action, reversibility, approval boundary, and audit trail explicit.
Risk score4 / 7
RecommendationAllow only with a narrow scope, logging, and an approval checkpoint.
This is a design worksheet, not a security control. Enforce permissions in the tool layer, validate parameters, log actions, and make irreversible operations fail closed.
Starting values are illustrative defaults you can edit — not live ComputeTape Market benchmark prices. Replace them with a real quote.
How to use it
Make the assumption visible
Use this as a design conversation. Enforcement belongs in the tool layer with narrow parameters, audit logs, and fail-closed behavior.
- Change one assumption at a time when comparing designs.
- Record the prompt, workload, or permission version beside the result.
- Treat the output as a planning aid and validate it against representative work before making a production decision.
