Limitations and risks to be aware of
BEFORE
launching an agent
The agent is highly dependent on the quality of the data
The agent may misuse a tool
If your data is incomplete, obsolete or badly structured, the agent will make poor decisions.
Incorrect settings may result in an e-mail being sent inappropriately, the wrong file being modified or an irreversible action being taken.
The agent doesn't have "business intelligence"
It won't spontaneously understand your priorities, your business rules or the human nuances of a professional environment.
The agent is not meant to automate everything
The agent may make mistakes in its reasoning
Automating without thinking about what role humans should play can lead to inappropriate decisions, a lack of control or a loss of responsibility.
An agent follows its own logic and may interpret a goal differently from what you had in mind.

Tips
The agent is highly dependent on the quality of the data:
👉 Use reliable and up-to-date sources👉 Limit access to sensitive data and check what the agent is consuming
The agent may misuse a tool
👉 Sandbox test your agent before actually activating it
The agent doesn't have "business intelligence"
👉 Clearly explain the rules, constraints and exceptions 👉 Give concrete examples of what you want from it... and what you don't
The agent is not meant to automate everything
👉 Clearly define what can be automated and what needs to be validated or decided on by humans 👉 Identify the stages of the process where there still needs to be a human in the loop: validation, decision-making, final responsibility 👉 Start with scenarios where the impact of an error will be low
The agent may make mistakes in its reasoning
👉 Start with simple, well-defined tasks 👉 Require human validation for sensitive actions
