Trust, safety, and control patterns for production agentic systems with human-in-the-loop gates and guardrails. Use when: designing guardrails or human-in-the-loop gates for an agent, or hardening an agentic system against prompt injection.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Trust and Safety

Essential patterns for building safe, trustworthy, production-ready agentic systems.

## Core Principles

1. **Least Privilege:** Agents have minimum necessary permissions
2. **Defense in Depth:** Multiple layers of safety checks
3. **Fail Safe:** Errors should fail toward safety, not capability
4. **Human Oversight:** High-stakes decisions require human approval
5. **Auditability:** All decisions and actions are logged and traceable
6. **Graceful Degradation:** System remains safe even when components fail

## Human-in-the-Loop Gates

### When to Add Human Gates

**Always require approval for:**
- Production data modifications (delete, update critical data)
- Financial transactions above threshold
- Communications to external parties
- Credential or security changes
- Irreversible operations

**Consider approval for:**
- First-time operations
- Operations outside normal patterns
- Low-confidence decisions
- Operations near resource limits

### Implementation Pattern

```python
async def execute_with_approval(action, threshold=0.8):
    if action.confidence < threshold or action.is_high_stakes():
        approval = await request_human_approval(action)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mikeparcewski/wicked-garden/wicked-garden-agentic-trust-and-safety@sha256:0798d8a5763e8af4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.823dcbc, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
