Autonomous assistants are landing everywhere this year, and every one of them asks for the keys to your accounts on day one. Nobody ships the manual for saying yes safely. So we wrote it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's inside the full playbook\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1. The Permission Ladder\u003c\/strong\u003e — a five-rung framework (L0 read-only through L4 capped autonomy) with a promotion rule, automatic demotion triggers, and permanent caps for money and legal agreements. Works for Instinct, OpenClaw, Grok Bot, Copilot Actions, or any agent you adopt next year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. The ToS Red-Flag Scanner\u003c\/strong\u003e — a complete paste-in audit prompt that tears through any assistant's Terms of Service before you connect an account. Shown in full below.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. The 7-Day Sandbox Onboarding\u003c\/strong\u003e — a day-by-day protocol from burner-account setup to decision day, including the recurring monthly audit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. The Prompt-Injection Self-Test\u003c\/strong\u003e — three concrete pass\/fail tests (embedded-instruction email, calendar invite, document instruction) to run on your own sandbox before an attacker runs them for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5. The Data Exposure Audit\u003c\/strong\u003e — the exact question that exposed Instinct's retention problem, plus the provider pages to verify independently and the deletion-request move that starts a statutory clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6. The Kill-Switch Checklist\u003c\/strong\u003e — eight ordered steps for the day an agent does something you didn't authorize, built from the incidents testers actually reported.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e7. Common Failure Modes and the Exact Fix\u003c\/strong\u003e — the five ways people got burned this month, each with the structural fix, not a platitude.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFree sample — the ToS Red-Flag Scanner, in full\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou are a consumer-protection contracts analyst reviewing the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy of an AI assistant that will access my email, calendar, messages, files, and payment methods, and take actions on my behalf. Your job is to protect me, not to summarize. Go through the full text and extract, with verbatim quotes and section references: (1) every license I grant to my data — flag any that is perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable, or survives account deletion, and state plainly what that means I can never undo; (2) whether my data is used for model training, whether opt-out exists, and what the opt-out actually covers; (3) every clause that lets the service act, contract, or agree on my behalf, and what standard of authorization it requires; (4) data retention after disconnection or deletion — exact promised timelines, or note their absence; (5) screen, keystroke, audio, or location capture rights; (6) liability caps and arbitration terms that would apply if the agent takes a harmful action. Rate each finding Red (do not accept without changes), Amber (accept only with a mitigation, and name the mitigation), or Green. Do not soften language to seem balanced: if a clause is unusual for this product category, say so. Finish with a one-paragraph verdict: connect, connect-with-restrictions (list them), or walk away. If the documents are silent on any of the six areas above, list each silence as its own Red finding — in agent terms, silence is permission. Definition of done: all six areas covered with quotes, every finding rated, verdict issued. If the text I gave you looks truncated or missing a referenced schedule or DPA, stop and tell me exactly which document to fetch instead of guessing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat's one of seven sections.
