- FutureVault's agents ask permission in four fields. Which actions count as consequential is left to each firm.
FutureVault's new document agents pause before consequential actions and file a request naming the action, the folder, the account and a reason. That format is the right minimum for an auditable authorization. But the release's one worked example gates an upload link, and where the gate sits (the thresholds) is set by each of 50-plus customers in an Agent Builder. The format is a rule. The placement is still discretion until someone writes it down.
- FINRA Asked Where the Human Goes. A Dollar Line Tells Every Agent Where to Stand.
FINRA's 2026 report tells firms to determine where human-in-the-loop oversight is required, and leaves the placement to them. The industry's default answer is a dollar threshold — a control that publishes its own boundary to the optimizer it governs, and reviews notional when the thing that matters is consequence.
- Raymond James Kept the Human in the Loop. Now Count the Loop's Throughput.
One Raymond James press release uses the word 'oversight' twice: once for Rai, its new operations agent, which ships with 'full human-in-the-loop oversight,' and once for the roughly 3.2 million lines of AI-generated code the firm produces each month under developer oversight. Those are not the same control. Oversight is a capacity, and capacity does not scale with the thing it supervises.
