AI agent safeguards need to be checked against what an agent can actually reach while it is working, not just what its setup says it should reach. The New Stack argues that runtime observability can help expose gaps static rules miss.

Its proposed approach combines traces from the agent layer with infrastructure monitoring, to give teams a more complete and independently auditable view. That is a useful distinction: a neat policy on paper is not proof of what happens when tools and systems get involved. This is an argument about how to govern agent deployments, not evidence that a particular system has been breached. Should runtime monitoring be a basic requirement before agents get access to business systems, or can careful setup do enough?
