The problem
Prompt-only “agents” wander. They invent actions, skip approvals, and cannot be audited when something ships wrong.
How Forklabs approaches it
We constrain tools, require typed outputs, log every step, and put human gates on irreversible actions. Success is a finished ticket, invoice, or record — not a chat log.
What done looks like
- Tool-using agents with an audit trail
- Explicit stop and escalate rules
- Metrics: jobs completed, jobs handed off, jobs refused
