Course lesson · Lesson 3

Calibrated Delegation and Headless Integrations

Decide what to keep, assist, or delegate, and wire agents into headless tools and channels without over-granting their reach.

What you'll take away

Calibrate a delegation across three dials — task clarity, tool scope, and verification path — before handing work to an agent.
Construct a bounded task envelope that gives a subagent the goal, context, and evidence path it needs.
Ground an agent's actions in a stable headless surface (CLI or API) rather than fragile UI imitation.
Establish a read-only-then-write progression and an approval threshold before granting consequential scope.
