Slow and Steady: I Built Two Tools That Do the Checks I Dread

说明与用途

创建了两个开源工具：Permit 用于控制 AI 代理的支出限额，AgentReady 用于评估网站对 AI 的可读性。两者均通过严格测试，自动阻止不符合条件的操作，降低人工检查需求。

问题

Automating repetitive checks for AI agent spending limits and website readability to reduce manual oversight.

结果

Permit achieved 406 passed tests on main and 428 passed on hardened branch, blocking over‑limit spends and unapproved orders. AgentReady scored stripe.com 47/100 consistently, with 19 passed tests on a clean clone.

工作流

• Define spending limits and approval rules in Permit configuration
• Run Permit middleware between AI agent and payment gateway
• Permit blocks over‑limit or unapproved transactions before any money moves
• Use emergency‑stop path to halt running agents
• Configure AgentReady with a target website URL
• AgentReady scans site, evaluates 93 readability checks, outputs a score and fix pack
• Review AgentReady output and apply suggested fixes if needed

证据

The full test suite on current main: 406 passed, 3 skipped (including the emergency-stop work merged October 22).

The agent's ability to voluntarily tighten its own permit existed in the code and passed its tests — but it was never listed in the live agent's instructions.
