Read online: Open the styled Gradient Push web version here: Agent rollback drill.
Before you give an AI agent more access, run one 10-minute rollback drill: who pauses it, what reverts, and where the incident note goes.
The drill
Pick one agent that can change a real system. Do not audit the whole stack. Test the rollback path for one real permission.
If nobody can pause it, nothing reverts automatically, or no incident note gets written, the agent is not ready for more access.
Agent rollback drill
In 10 minutes, prove three things:
Who can pause it.
What gets reverted automatically.
Where the incident note gets written.
Three-role version
Operator: runs the pause and rollback steps.
Approver: decides whether the agent can keep the permission.
Reviewer: checks the incident note and logs.
Result
Green: pause, rollback, and incident note are clear.
Yellow: one step needs a named owner before more access.
Red: pause, rollback, or incident logging is unclear. Block more access.
Source basis: carried forward from Gradient Push’s two prior clean-link/weak-pull CTA reads. The next test gives readers a concrete drill before the click instead of another abstract access assessment.
