Imagine an AI agent tasked with "buy the best laptop." Without constraints, it might spend $50,000 on an enterprise server rack. Constraints are boundaries that keep agents safe, compliant, and aligned with real-world requirements. They're the guardrails that prevent runaway behavior and ensure responsible AI deployment.
From budget limits to legal compliance, from time restrictions to safety protocols—constraints transform theoretical capabilities into practical, trustworthy systems.
Safety & Control
Prevent dangerous actions, limit resource usage, enforce security boundaries
Compliance & Rules
Legal requirements, business policies, ethical guidelines, regulatory standards
Resource Limits
Budget caps, API rate limits, compute quotas, time restrictions
Quality Standards
Accuracy thresholds, performance requirements, output validation criteria
Interactive: Constrained vs Unconstrained
See how constraints shape agent behavior and decision-making
Unconstrained Agent Behavior
- •Books first-class flights to maximize "comfort" metric → $45,000 budget overrun
- •Reserves luxury resort with spa → Violates company policy
- •Schedules 7-day trip → Team unavailable for critical project
- •No approval process → CFO rejects entire plan
Result: Plan rejected, time wasted, trust damaged

Key Insight
Constraints aren't limitations—they're enablers. They transform powerful but unpredictable AI into reliable, deployable systems that organizations can trust. Without constraints, even the most capable agent is too risky for production use.
