Set a limit on your AI that no one can remove.
An AI agent that can spend money or change real systems needs hard limits. But whoever sets those limits can take them off, or be pressured into it. The Guardian keeps them in place even against you, so other people can trust the limits are real.
Why limits don’t last
The Guardian breaks that chain. It won’t drop a limit just because someone wants it gone, and you can’t switch it off to do it yourself.
The control you can’t switch off.
A normal limit is just a setting you control, so you can always be talked or forced into changing it. The Guardian keeps the limit out of your hands. It runs on its own, and only it holds its keys, so no one at your company can switch it off or loosen it, no matter how much pressure they’re under. That is what lets you make a promise about your AI that holds up even against you, which a setting you control never could.
