Classifying Risk in Agent Workflows

Separate information retrieval, low-value execution, treasury activity and contract changes into clear risk tiers before automation.

In this guide

Practical outcomes

  • Define risk tiers
  • Map required approvals
  • Escalate sensitive actions

How this works in practice

Separate information retrieval, low-value execution, treasury activity and contract changes into clear risk tiers before automation.

A controlled agent separates the controller from the runtime. The controller owns the agent identity and defines policy, while a smart wallet, permission rules, quotas, relayer and scheduler constrain what the runtime can actually execute.

Implementation sequence

Turn the topic into a controlled implementation rather than a one-off transaction. Each step below should leave evidence a teammate, user or auditor can independently review.

  1. 01. Define risk tiers. Define the expected result, capture the relevant onchain or operational evidence, and stop for review if the result differs from the plan.
  2. 02. Map required approvals. Define the expected result, capture the relevant onchain or operational evidence, and stop for review if the result differs from the plan.
  3. 03. Escalate sensitive actions. Define the expected result, capture the relevant onchain or operational evidence, and stop for review if the result differs from the plan.

Evidence to retain

Record the .rama identity, controller, wallet, policy version, approval event, task identifier and resulting transaction hash. This makes a decision traceable without giving the agent unrestricted custody.

Control point

Start with small allocations, explicit recipient and contract allowlists, bounded session keys and a tested pause path. An automated workflow must never be the only place where authority or recovery knowledge exists.
