StudioThe 20 Questions We Asked Before Letting Our Agents Touch Production Data
Original title: the questions we went through before letting our agents touch prod data, cleaned up so anyone can use them
The author shares an internal readiness checklist used before deploying agents to production data, organized into 20 questions covering identity, data protection, auditing, operations, and autonomy. Informed by incidents this year—including database deletions, unauthorized data reads, and MCP servers exposing raw SQL tools—the assessment takes about 10 minutes and provides a rating from experimental to autonomous-ready, along with the top three gaps to address first.
The author compiles pre-deployment checks into a 10-minute readiness index that readers can directly apply to assess whether their own agents can safely access production data.
