I red-team my own automations for a living, so naturally I've over-engineered my personal ones. Here's the tier system I use for every agent, at home and at work:
Tier Can do Example Human needed? 0: Read Look, never touch Summarise my inbox No 1: Draft Prepare, never send Draft replies, propose a calendar Approves everything 2: Reversible Act, if it can be undone Label, file, create calendar holds Spot-checks daily 3: Irreversible Send, pay, delete, publish Email a client, pay an invoice Approves every actionRules: every agent starts at Tier 0 for a week. Promotion is one tier at a time, after reading its receipts. Any mistake at a tier means demotion for a week, no arguments.
What does your setup look like? Especially curious whether anyone gives Tier 3 without per-action approval, and why.
