Define Autonomy Guardrails for an AI Sales Agent

Define autonomy tiers and hard 'never' rules so an AI sales agent acts fast on safe work and stops at high-stakes lines.

About this prompt

This prompt builds a guardrail policy for RevOps, AEs, and sales managers giving an AI agent more autonomy. It defines autonomy tiers, hard 'never' rules, high-stakes human gates, and a kill-switch. Use it before increasing an agent's autonomy, so it can't go off-brand, non-compliant, or damaging in your name.Giving an AI agent more autonomy without guardrails invites an off-brand or non-compliant action in your name. This prompt defines a concrete policy: what the agent can do fully on its own (low-stakes, high-volume), what it does with human review, and what it must never do without explicit human action. Provide ITS SCOPE (research, outreach, follow-up, qualification, scheduling, data entry) for what it handles, SUGGEST-ONLY / ACT-WITH-REVIEW / FULLY AUTONOMOUS for the autonomy you're weighing, BRAND DAMAGE, BAD PERSONALIZATION, COMPLIANCE, ANNOYING A KEY ACCOUNT, BAD DATA for what could go wrong, and BRAND VOICE, COMPLIANCE RULES, KEY ACCOUNTS THAT NEED HUMAN TOUCH for your constraints. It draws hard 'never' rules, high-stakes gates (key accounts, exec contacts, late-stage deals, anything compliance-adjacent), data and action limits, a kill-switch with monitoring signals, and a review cadence. Use this to set policy; use the QA-framework prompt to inspect output quality once it's running. Tip: list real account names in KEY ACCOUNTS THAT NEED HUMAN TOUCH so the gates protect the relationships you can't afford to risk.
