CLOSING THE AI AGENT TRUST GAP WITH GRADUATED AUTONOMY

Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

AWS proposes "graduated autonomy" to escape the binary of full-access (risky) vs read-only (wasteful) agents. Agents earn expanded permissions through sustained reliability and lose them instantly when performance drops. It's built on a weighted 0-100 score over a rolling 50-action window feeding four tiers (T1 Probation → T4 Autonomous) that promote slowly with hysteresis but demote immediately.
