How to Keep AI Generated Customer Replies From Promising an Unapproved Refund

An AI assistant may promise a refund or credit that is outside the company’s approved policy or the agent’s authority. A polite response can still create a costly commitment if the model infers what seems fair from incomplete context.

What to check

Review policy retrieval, tool permissions, response templates, and examples involving exceptions. Check whether the assistant can distinguish explaining a policy from taking an action, and whether a human sees the draft before it is sent.

Recommended next step

Constrain refund language to approved policy sources, require authorized review for exceptions, and prevent the model from initiating financial actions without explicit controls. Evaluate responses against realistic edge cases after policy changes.
