When a big customer sends security questionnaires, your security agent fills them in and tracks which controls you’ve already verified.
Most days, it does its job.
Then it reads a newest chat, note, or tool reply and answers from that, not from the case file your team already approved.
When that later message clashes with an earlier security answer, the agent overwrites it.
You started with a case file that said a control was in place. Later, a tool reply said the control was never there, and the agent failed to flag the conflict.
In chemical manufacturing, process safety management works the same way on high-risk changes: every change gets checked, the barriers stay in place, and the system stops when something leaves the defined safe zone.
Your security agent needs that same stop.
You lock one approved case file before answers go out. The agent trusts that file, not the newest message.
Old chat, stored notes, policy text, and tool output count only when they match it, and the case goes to a human reviewer when they do not.
One conflict is enough to stop the answer before it leaves your system.
