Perplexity’s safer-agent model puts monitors where AI clicks
The useful lesson is not trust the agent. It is limit tools, watch actions, and keep humans at the blast doors.
- Treat agents as action systems, not chatbots, especially when they can browse, edit files, or call APIs.
- Separate model reasoning from permission decisions, and monitor tool use outside the agent loop.
- Add human review when workflows move from sandboxed tasks to live data, write access, or endpoint actions.
