The approval gate: a pattern for AI agents that write to production systems

Описание и применение

Паттерн «промежуточный шлюз» разделяет принятие решения и действие, позволяя человеку одобрять изменения, внесенные ИИ‑агентом, и тем самым снижая риск ошибок в критических системах.

Задача

AI agents that write directly to production systems risk corrupting critical data, eroding trust, and incurring high cleanup costs when writes are incorrect.

Результат

The approval gate pattern reduced the impact of erroneous writes, improved auditability, and restored trust among revenue team users, enabling continued automation.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Agent generates a proposed action with diff, evidence, and idempotency key.
• 2. System validates the proposal against target schema and permissions (preflight).
• 3. Proposal is queued for human review.
• 4. Reviewer approves or rejects the diff within seconds.
• 5. Executor applies the approved change and logs the full envelope, including inverse action for reversibility.
• 6. System records audit trail for future reference.

Доказательства

At 95 percent action accuracy, one in twenty writes is wrong, and those writes compound into a database humans use to make decisions.
