AI Agent Safety in Production: Why Trust and Safety Infrastructure Isn't Optional Anymore

Short summary

Three real incidents traced to missing scope constraints and injection defenses, not model failures. Success requires distinguishing permissions (what agents can call) from scope (when they stop). Contextual moderation and audit trails move safety from the roadmap to production.

• •Three recent incidents (runaway bills, compromised systems, unauthorized access) shared root cause: missing scope constraints and injection defenses
• •Distinguish permissions (what agents access) from scope (stopping conditions); both required
• •Contextual moderation + audit trails transform conversation layer from attack surface into security boundary
