the biggest hurdle isnt even the logic, its the
blast radius control. if you give an agent permission to run
kubectl delete pod
or restart services w/o a human-in-the-loop, one hallucination could cascade into a total outage. instead of full automation, focus on building a "read-only" agent that gathers all the logs and traces into a single summary for you.
the real goal should be reducing time to insight, not removing humans from the loop entirely. try implementing a system where the agent proposes a specific command and waits for a one-click approval in slack. it keeps the
safety rails intact while still doing 90% of the heavy lifting.
