Guardrails

Critical guardrails for Support agents

Ten controls that hold regardless of prompt, plan or pressure. Open one to see what it protects, what trips it, what the agent is forced to do, who may release it, and what is written to the record.

GR-01No refunds or credits beyond policy limitsOverride defined▸

Target

Refund, credit and goodwill actions in billing, order and subscription systems

Trigger

Requested amount, frequency or exception exceeding published policy thresholds for the account tier

Action — enforced

Platform blocks the transaction and holds the case; agent may offer in-policy remedies or route to a supervisor.

Human override

Support team lead via supervisor approval logged on the ticket

Logged evidenceticket id · requested vs policy amount · account tier · approver identity · approval timestamp

GR-02No cross-customer retrieval of accounts or ordersNo override▸

Target

Account records, order histories and conversation memory partitioned per authenticated customer

Trigger

Retrieval or reply referencing any record outside the authenticated customer’s partition

Action — enforced

Platform blocks the fetch and scrubs the session of foreign-customer data; agent may serve only the bound account.

Human override

None — cannot be overridden in session

Logged evidencesession id · bound customer id · blocked record ids · memory-scrub hash · block timestamp

GR-03No instruction embedded in customer messages ever executedNo override▸

Target

Inbound tickets, chat messages, emails and attachments parsed by support agents

Trigger

Imperative or tool-directing text detected inside any customer-supplied message or attachment

Action — enforced

Platform neutralizes the content to quoted data and refuses execution; agent may answer the underlying request normally.

Human override

None — cannot be overridden in session

Logged evidencemessage id · detected instruction span · channel · sanitized copy hash · detection timestamp

GR-04No account actions without verified identityOverride defined▸

Target

Password resets, address changes, payment updates and data disclosures on customer accounts

Trigger

Sensitive action requested before identity checks pass, or after a failed verification attempt

Action — enforced

Platform denies the action and locks step-up verification in place; agent may guide the customer through re-verification.

Human override

Fraud-operations analyst via manual identity review recorded on the account

Logged evidenceaccount id · verification method and outcome · requested action · denial timestamp · analyst review id

GR-05No policy commitments beyond the approved knowledge baseOverride defined▸

Target

Answers about pricing, warranties, refunds and terms delivered in any support channel

Trigger

Draft reply asserting policy or entitlement without a citation to a current KB article

Action — enforced

Platform withholds the reply and demands a grounded citation; agent may answer from the KB or escalate the gap.

Human override

Knowledge manager via published KB update that the reply can then cite

Logged evidencereply draft hash · cited article ids and versions · ticket id · gap-escalation id · publish timestamp

GR-06No downgrade or closure of at-risk escalationsOverride defined▸

Target

Tickets flagged for self-harm, safety, medical, legal or vulnerable-customer signals

Trigger

Attempt to close, deflect or de-prioritize a conversation carrying an at-risk signal

Action — enforced

Platform forces immediate human routing and keeps the ticket open; agent may only reassure and hand off.

Human override

Duty safety officer via documented human review closing the escalation

Logged evidenceticket id · risk-signal classification · routing target and time · human acknowledgment id · closure timestamp

GR-07No unlawful or unsafe advice to customersOverride defined▸

Target

Guidance on returns, warranties, disputes, device use and account workarounds across channels

Trigger

Draft reply recommending illegal action, regulatory evasion or unsafe product use

Action — enforced

Platform blocks the reply and substitutes safe guidance; agent may restate lawful options or escalate to a specialist.

Human override

Support compliance lead via reviewed response template added to the KB

Logged evidenceblocked reply hash · policy rule hit · substituted response id · ticket id · block timestamp

GR-08No undisclosed bot identity in conversationsOverride defined▸

Target

Chat, voice and email sessions where customers could assume a human agent

Trigger

Session start, or a direct identity question, without the AI disclosure delivered

Action — enforced

Platform injects the disclosure and blocks any denial of bot status; agent may continue after disclosure is on record.

Human override

Support operations director via approved disclosure-script change in the policy register

Logged evidenceconversation id · disclosure version · delivery timestamp · channel · identity-question span

GR-09No account changes on unconfirmed target or amountOverride defined▸

Target

Write actions on orders, subscriptions and balances, including voice-transcribed numbers and names

Trigger

Tool call whose target id or amount lacks customer confirmation or fails plausibility checks

Action — enforced

Platform holds the execution and echoes the parsed values for confirmation; agent may re-read details and retry once confirmed.

Human override

Support team lead via verified-callback confirmation noted on the ticket

Logged evidencetool-call id · parsed target and amount · confirmation transcript span · execution result · hold timestamp

GR-10No re-execution on retry of account actionsOverride defined▸

Target

Refunds, shipments, cancellations and messages dispatched through tool calls with retry logic

Trigger

Retry or resubmission carrying an idempotency key already recorded as executed

Action — enforced

Platform suppresses the duplicate and returns the original result; agent may verify state before any new attempt.

Human override

Billing operations manager via manual reconciliation recorded in the ledger

Logged evidenceidempotency key · original transaction id · retry attempt count · state snapshot hash · suppression timestamp

Oversight

Human review — triggers, decisions and evidence

When a defined risk trigger fires, the affected action is routed to a named reviewer. Every decision is recorded with its correction, escalation and final outcome for full traceability.

Area / authority	Maps to	Lifecycle layer	Obligation & control
Applies everywhere	—	—	These modes run on top of the vertical catalogs — a support agent for an insurer also inherits the full Insurance & Financial playbook.
Scorecard extras	—	—	Deflection rate is always paired with re-open rate and CSAT, so deflection is never gamed at quality’s expense. Cost per resolved conversation vs. human baseline is the ROI number a CFO reads first.

Department lead review

For applicable high-risk agents, the client’s designated department leader reviews the evaluation criteria and pass thresholds before baseline approval.

Test-case rotation

Evaluation cases are refreshed regularly to reduce memorisation and maintain reliable performance measurement.

Scorecard integration

Scorecards track results against the approved baseline and flag material declines for review and escalation.

Department-specific extensions

Where included in scope, evaluations may be expanded using approved workflows, tools, templates, policies, and incident history.

Monitoring

Change-aware monitoring

When agent performance changes, Nestack correlates the shift with changes to the agent, prompt, model, tools, knowledge base, guardrails and evaluation suite.

Something missing?

Don’t see your agent’s issue here?

Every AI environment is different. Share what you’re seeing, and we’ll review the behaviour, assess the risk and recommend the evaluations or controls that may help.

Tell us what you’re seeing → See pricing

No commitment. Even if you never become a client, we’ll tell you what we think is happening.

Process

Universal incident runbook

Severity is assigned based on business impact, customer harm, data exposure, operational disruption and overall scope.

Severity scaleSEV-1 Critical SEV-2 Major SEV-3 Moderate SEV-4 Minor

Detect

Automated monitoring or human review identifies unusual behaviour. Alerts are recorded and routed according to severity.

Contain

For critical incidents, agreed actions may restrict autonomy, pause affected workflows, or switch the agent to a safer operating mode.

Diagnose

Review available logs and traces, classify the incident, and estimate the affected scope, duration, and business impact.

Remediate

Apply the agreed corrective action, validate the change through targeted testing, and recommend when normal operation can resume.

Notify

Inform the client according to the agreed response target, including known impact, actions taken, current status, and next steps.

Learn

Review significant incidents, document lessons learned, and update evaluations, controls, or procedures where appropriate.

Cost control

Keep customer-support AI AI agent costs under control

Token spend is monitored, optimised and reported as part of Agent Care — and savings never come at the expense of quality, because every change is verified against your evaluation baseline.

Cost visibility per agent

We review token spend by agent, workflow, model, and session so you can understand where AI costs are coming from.

Cost-anomaly review

We watch for unusual spend patterns such as retry loops, long-running sessions, repeated calls, and sudden usage spikes.

Model right-sizing

We recommend where lower-cost models can support routine tasks, while keeping stronger models for complex or high-risk workflows.

Caching & reuse opportunities

We identify repeated questions, stable answers, and reusable context that may be handled without unnecessary fresh model calls.

Prompt & context optimization

We review prompts, retrieved context, repeated instructions, and long histories to find practical token-saving opportunities.

Budget guardrails & reporting

We help define per-agent budget thresholds, cost alerts, and monthly spend summaries so AI bills stay easier to manage.
