The big picture

Priya started with a chat box. Now she puts AI to work safely. Your goal: see how the pieces fit.

Figure — One request, grown into a safe system.
Key points
  • The model only asks. Your code checks and runs every tool call.
  • Tokens are money and time. A lean context saves both.
  • People approve the risky steps. Give each tool only the access it needs.
  • Know where your data goes. Secrets never go into an AI tool.
