A safety checklist before connecting an AI tool

Evaluate an AI tool on the work it can actually perform, not only on a product description. Keep a person in control of actions that affect customers, money, access or production systems.

  • Check which files, accounts and tools the agent can read or change.
  • Understand how data is handled, retained and used, and how to revoke access.
  • Review usage limits and current pricing before running repeated or high-volume tasks.
  • Test with non-sensitive information, inspect outputs and require approval for consequential actions.
  • Keep credentials out of prompts and verify any generated code or factual claims.
