DGS vs Agent Frameworks
Safety guardrails.
Good guardrails are concrete and enforceable.
Fact
Guardrails are implementation, not prompts
Prompt rules help, but real guardrails are code-level constraints: allowlisted tools, permission checks, and sandboxed execution.
Fact
Least privilege applies
Agents should operate with the minimum permissions required. This reduces blast radius if the system behaves incorrectly.
Fact
Approval gates are measurable
You can define which actions require approval (e.g., production changes) and enforce that in code. That’s observable and testable.
Baseline controls
Allowlist, sandbox, approve
If an agent can act, require: tool allowlists, least-privilege credentials, sandboxing for execution, and human approval for high-impact actions.
