Blast Radius

Founder at Agentmelt · Last updated Sep 9, 2026

The maximum scope of harm an AI agent can cause if it fails or is misused—how many records it can change, how much money it can move, how many customers it can reach. Designing agents with a small blast radius (least-privilege access, action limits, approval gates for irreversible operations) is the single highest-leverage safety practice for production deployments.

See it as a workflow

Security Alert Triage Workflow

Trigger, steps, n8n nodes, guardrails and an importable template — plus what it costs to have it built.

Or skip the build

Workflows from $197/month, custom agents from $2,000.
