The author proposes a four-tier system for operations, ranging from read-only inspection to full modification and deployment capabilities, with each tier requiring progressively stricter oversight. This approach ensures that AI agents can assist with tasks like incident diagnosis without posing undue risk, by separating investigative permissions from those that can alter production systems. AI
