What you'll learn
Gating best practices
Write a gating policy that a decision model reads correctly, and the state design that keeps policy and action apart.
Statistical confidence
Report the two numbers that matter for a gate: recall on unsafe actions and false-block rate, with intervals.
Know when to have a human in the loop
Set auto, confirm, and human bands on the gate's probability and measure the latency it adds inside an agent loop.
Why this topic matters
Every tool call an agent makes needs an approval, and the approval runs on every step. Send each one to a frontier model and you add seconds and cents per step. Skip it and one error costs you. We gate 41 proposed actions, five of them adversarial, with Jev and Claude against the same written policy. You will see recall on unsafe actions, false-block rate, p95 latency, and cost per million checks. You leave with the gate and the policy template.
