Should AI agents be allowed to deploy or change production resources directly?

Summary

A discussion on whether AI agents should be allowed to directly deploy or change production resources, or if human approval should always be required, particularly for small teams.

I keep thinking about where the boundary should be for AI agents in production. It feels fine to let an agent generate code create tickets suggest infra changes or prepare deployment steps. But once it can actually touch production resources the question changes. Should the agent be allowed to deploy directly if the policy allows it Should every production-changing action require human approval Or should there be a middle layer where the agent can prepare the action but deployment rollback credentials and audit logs are handled outside the agent I am curious how people here are thinking about this. Especially for small teams where you may not have a full platform or DevOps team watching every change.
