Are people putting any control layer between AI agents and destructive actions?

Saw a case recently where an AI coding agent ended up wiping a database in seconds.

It made me think about how most agent setups are wired: agent decides → executes query → done

There’s usually logging-tracing but those all happen after the action.

If your agent has access to systems like a DB, are you:

restricting it to read-only?

running everything in staging/sandbox?

relying on prompt-level safeguards?

or putting some kind of control layer in between?
