Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-09-30

Suitable for selective supervised coding and bounded agent workflows after workload testing.

Why
Independent results demonstrate useful operation, but missed critical defects, insecure code and unintended actions limit unattended deployment.
Next
Specify security controls explicitly, check dependencies and authorization, test consequential actions, and retain human review and spending limits.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Critical defects can be missed during code review.
  • Generated code can omit authorization and expose personal data.
  • Dependency choices require vulnerability checks.
  • Agent actions can cause unintended harm.
  • Harness settings and long sessions require regression testing and budgets.
