Watch-outs for Richer Agents
- Start with narrow, approved sources rather than broad organisational grounding.
- Sharing an Agent does not guarantee every recipient has the licence or permissions needed to use all of its capabilities.
- Add co-ownership, a source list, intended users and a review date before a personal experiment becomes team capability.
- Test with real target users because their source permissions may differ from the Agent owner's.
