The framework

The LEASH

Five plain rules for keeping AI agents useful and under human control.

L

Limit

Give the agent only the access, time and budget the job needs.

E

Enforce

Turn rules into hard blocks the agent cannot quietly ignore.

A

Audit

Keep a clear record of what the agent saw, decided and changed.

S

Secure

Protect the agent, its tools and its data from tricks and misuse.

H

Human in the loop

A person decides wherever judgment and responsibility matter.

Your agent already has the keys.

Files, terminal, email, payments, browser, cloud. Every line is a permission. Switch on the LEASH and watch the blast radius shrink.
