The problem

Example risks

01

Agents drift from the plan

An agent given a portfolio strategy can be steered off it, with nothing checking that it follows the plan.

02

Poisoned instructions

An instruction planted in an agent’s memory or a tool result changes what the agent does with an account.

03

Open tool access

An agent that can reach an order or account tool can call any tool on it.

04

Account data in prompts

Account numbers, balances, and payment details end up in prompts, replies, and tool calls.

05

Unbounded spend

Agent usage and cost climb with no limit as adoption grows.

06

Adoption ahead of controls

FINRA’s 2026 report flags firms using generative AI without the expected controls, supervision, and recordkeeping.

What Cortega does

The controls

01

Strategy enforcement

Upload the strategy and mandate rules as policy. Every agent reply is checked against them and corrected when it breaks them.
