The riskWhat an ungoverned agent gets wrong here.
A company like a global payments platform runs money movement, fraud and risk scoring, refunds, and financial operations at enormous volume, and AI agents are increasingly in the loop on all of them. That is exactly where an agent acting outside its authorized scope becomes a direct financial and regulatory loss: a refund issued past its limit, funds moved without approval, or a risk rule changed on an agent's own initiative. Without governance, there is no enforced ceiling on what an agent may move or change, and no decision trail an auditor, or a regulator, can trust.
