AI & agents

Useful intelligence needs explicit boundaries.

Explore the ai & agents collection in the Sentinel Journal.

AI-enabled applications combine model behavior with ordinary APIs, credentials, and data access. This collection follows that whole workflow. Learn how to distinguish a successful call from a completed task, keep untrusted content from becoming execution authority, and give tool-using agents narrowly scoped permissions. Read the monitoring guide for evidence design, the prompt-injection guide for content boundaries, and the agent guide for delegated access and consequential approvals. Each article treats the model as one component of the system, not a substitute for trustworthy identity, server-side authorization, or operational oversight.
