Briefings
WorkOS introduced the Airlock tool to enforce strict intent-based agent behavior by replacing broad role assignments with specific task definitions. Every interaction is logged and evaluated against the assigned intent, preventing uncontrolled tool usage. This approach ensures agents act only on explicitly granted tasks rather than exploring unknown areas.
Key points
- WorkOS Airlock enforces strict intent-based agent behavior by replacing broad role assignments with specific task definitions.
