I gave AI agents write access to live Shopify stores.

Read-only agents are chatbots. Useful agents take action. Action carries risk.

A wrong answer is a mistake. A wrong discount code costs you money.

I built five guardrails to stop disasters.

• Tokens start as read-only. You opt-in to write access.
• Set hard limits in the code. Do not use prompts for limits. Prompts are suggestions. Code is law.
• Group every action by risk.
• Easy to fix tasks: let agents work.
• Costly tasks: use hard limits.
• Permanent tasks: agents draft. Humans click send.
• Use typed inputs. Avoid free-text. This stops errors.
• Log every single call. You need a trail of what happened.

Safe agents do not need complex research. They need boring engineering.

One worry remains. Small, valid writes add up to a big mess. Rate limits help but do not solve this.

Where do you draw the line for AI writes?
