Harness Engineering

The framework that lets you delegate.

Delegating to an agent takes clear rules. The harness defines what information it can access, which actions it can take and when a person must step in. It gives your team the means to follow the work and stay in control.

01

Context & knowledge

Select relevant instructions, data and documents without overloading the context window.

02

Tools, APIs & MCP

Give the agent clear interfaces that are difficult to misuse when acting on business systems.

03

Execution & orchestration

Manage steps, stops, timeouts, recovery and any delegation between agents.

04

Memory & state

Keep useful decisions, resume interrupted work and prevent repetition.

05

Permissions & security

Limit every capability, isolate actions and require human approval when risk demands it.

06

Evaluation & verification

Measure quality on real cases, detect regressions and verify outputs before use.

07

Observability

Track traces, errors, cost and latency to understand production behavior.

08

Agent-ready environment

Structure documentation, tests, CI and architectural constraints for agents that develop the product.

For business agents

Your team defines permissions, budgets and approvals. Activity tracking and error recovery help them supervise delegated work.

For development agents

Your developers set conventions, tests and boundaries. Agents contribute within that framework; your team owns code review and architectural decisions.

You define access, permitted actions and approval points. The harness, the agent’s control environment, puts those rules into practice and makes its activity visible. Your team can review, correct and take over.
