How Teams Ship Safer: Agent Ops Checklists That Actually Get Used

The five rituals

1. Ship with a latency and cost budget per surface.
2. Gate every new tool behind reversible deploys and a rollback script.
3. Run weekly attack prompts and add the failures to your CI evals.
4. Log receipts in the UI so users know what data was used.
5. End every feature with a CTA and a tiny survey so the agent learns what to do next.
