What is an AI agent harness?
Summary
AI agent harnesses turn model reasoning into reliable action by providing the tools, memory, execution environments, and guardrails agents need to complete real-world tasks. Harness design directly shapes agent performance, with strong context management, orchestration, and verification often mattering as much as the underlying model.

What is artificial intelligence (AI)?
AI's broad impact, from fraud detection to content generation, stems from its pattern-recognition capabilities. As AI advances faster than its reliability, connecting models to trusted data, real workflows, and measurable outcomes will define its next adoption phase.
What is row-level security?
Row-level security filters table data by user identity, role, or session context, ensuring each person sees only the rows they are authorized to access across dashboards, notebooks, APIs, and other tools. Effective RLS depends on clear access logic, reliable keying columns, separate read/write controls, and testing across multiple user roles, and is most effective as part of layered governance.
