Checklist

Agentic AI Readiness Checklist

A readiness checklist for AI agents: workflow boundaries, tool permissions, data quality, exception paths, audit trails, cost controls, and human review.

Agentic AI requires stronger boundaries than chat-based AI

An agent can plan, call tools, update records, route work, and trigger actions. That means readiness must include permissions, workflow boundaries, auditability, and rollback paths.

  • • Define which systems the agent can read, write, or never access.
  • • Separate recommendation-only use cases from action-taking use cases.
  • • Design exception queues, approval gates, and audit logs before production use.
  • • Measure operating impact, not just task completion.

Readiness signal

A company is closer to agentic AI readiness when it can describe workflow ownership, data quality, tool permissions, exception handling, security review, and post-launch monitoring in plain business language.
