Constrain tools before a long AI session

Look for this insight
Before a long chat/agent session, set tool limits (domain allowlists, disable image/video gen, date cutoffs) so capability is not permission.
Lesson hook
When a product gives you tool override controls, use them: domain allowlists on search, date cutoffs, and the ability to turn off image or video generation. The real workplace skill is applying least privilege to the tools a model can call — not designing a whole new agent framework. And you still own send and deploy.
Do this now
Open your notes (or your AI product's settings). Write down three limits you'd want before a long session: (1) allowed domains (2) media tools on or off (3) a cutoff or budget. You're done when you've applied one real setting change, or written the ask for IT in 12 words or less.
