  1. Train on approved-change examples.
    Examples may influence behavior, but they do not reliably enforce approval or permission boundaries during live cases.
  2. Review a sample of submitted changes monthly.
    Sampling may identify problems retrospectively, but it does not prevent an unapproved consequential change.
  3. Enforce approval before the tool can submit. ✓
    The submission tool should require an external approval or equivalent enforced authorization before a consequential benefit change is executed.
  4. Tune response randomness.
    Temperature affects output variability, not whether the agent has permission to submit a benefit change.
The trap
For consequential actions, require authorization at the tool or workflow boundary, not only in the prompt.

How to remember it

Model instructions are not authorization boundaries; enforce approval before the agent can submit a benefit change.
