New system enforces AI agent permissions during task execution

• Researchers proposed a method to monitor and enforce what an AI agent is allowed to do while it works on a task, not just before it starts.
• In tests, the system blocked or corrected 94.8% of actions that violated its permission rules.
• The system completed 86.9% of legitimate tasks successfully, meaning some permitted work still failed to finish.
