Set it up

Review the plan
Ask the agent to show its plan or draft before it acts, and approve each step that has real consequences.

Confirm the outcome yourself (order placed, request sent, document understood) and keep a record.
Copy the full setup prompt
Paste into your agent and it will walk you through the setup, asking before anything that sends, posts or spends.
