Your agent needs a sandbox before it needs a better prompt
Most agent projects we’re asked to rescue don’t fail because the model is weak. They fail because nobody will let it touch anything real.
Make mistakes cheap first
Before tuning prompts, we give the agent a sandbox: its own machine, its own files, and only the network it needs. If it does something stupid, we throw the machine away.
Log actions, not just answers
A chat log tells you what the agent said. An action log tells you what it did. Auditors, security and your own team need the second one.
Widen access slowly
Start read-only. Add one tool at a time, each with its own limits. Trust is earned per tool.
