StudioConecto founder on agent write-access safety: risky actions should require approval, not review afterward
Original title: Risky actions should require approval, not review afterward. Lessons from giving agents write access to CRMs, invoices, and calendars
A Conecto founder shares lessons from giving agents read and write access to 580+ tools across 52 business areas. Key points: tool descriptions state costs and every call returns balance, idempotency keys prevent duplicate charges on retries, risky actions like modifying HubSpot/Salesforce records or canceling meetings default to owner approval with the caller never able to approve itself, and daily $20 and monthly $100 budget caps act as a safety net. Gray-zone actions like rescheduling remain unsolved, and the author asks how others split approval from autopilot.
Drawing on building agents with write access to CRMs, invoices, and calendars, the founder outlines transferable design principles like approval over after-the-fact review.
