LoopRails Ladder Defines 7 Levels of AI Agent Autonomy
LoopRails introduces a seven-level autonomy ladder for AI agents, from fully autonomous (L0) to human-only (L6). Each level specifies how much an agent can act without human oversight, with controls like logging, notifications, and approvals. The framework recommends setting autonomy per action based on risk, not per agent.

The per-action autonomy model is a practical antidote to the all-or-nothing approach most teams use, but its real test will be adoption beyond LoopRails' own framework.
