The Coding Agent Autonomy Checklist

A practical checklist for controlling and governing coding agents as they move from editing code under review to running autonomously.

Inside, you'll learn:

• Which Level You're Currently At: A foundation and three levels of agent autonomy, and the visibility you need to grant each one safely.
• What to Enforce, and Where: Controls at the IDE, CLI, and MCP boundary across identity, data, tools, code, and cost.
• How to Evaluate a Platform: Five questions that separate a control plane from a monitoring dashboard.

Use this resource to find the level your organization actually operates at, and scale agent autonomy with confidence.
