Tools, permissions and guardrails

How to let an AI act without letting it do anything.

Before you start: What is an AI agent?.

Principles

  • Default deny: a tool exists only if it was deliberately added.
  • Narrow tools: "list low-stock products", not "run any query".
  • The model never chooses which customer’s data to read; the system passes that in.
  • Validate arguments and log every call.

In Anchor

The owner assistant uses fixed tools that read one business’s data. It does not write its own database queries.
