Your agent writes and posts help pages.
Before each publish, it checks that the page still matches the live product: setup steps, feature names, UI paths. If the doc is out of date, it flags the page and waits.
Most days, the check passes and the update goes live. Then one day, a failed product check gets ignored and the stale help page stays live.
The help page says an old setup step still works, but it doesn’t anymore. Paying customers follow the step, hit a roadblock, and start complaining about your help pages.
In electrical engineering, circuit breakers could have prevented this. They do one job: when the current crosses a fixed limit, they cut the line at once instead of waiting for heat and damage to spread.
You can add that same mechanism to your agent. If a product check fails, the agent should stop, not publish.
One failed check is enough to unpublish the page or stop the update.
InTheValley embeds senior engineers who build agents with these controls already in place.
