How to Keep an AI Assistant From Making Decisions Outside Its Approved Role

11/10/2026

An assistant can be asked to make judgments beyond its intended purpose, especially when role boundaries are described only in prompt text.

Checks to make

Define supported tasks and prohibited decisions, enforce limits in application logic and tool permissions, and route out-of-scope requests to a human. Test ambiguous requests and record refusal and escalation behavior.
