Not all constraints are created equal. Understanding the difference between hard constraints (must be satisfied) and soft constraints (preferred but flexible) is crucial for building effective agent systems.
Hard Constraints (Non-Negotiable)
Cannot be violated under any circumstances. Violation immediately blocks the action or aborts the operation. Used for safety, security, legal compliance, and critical business rules.
if (constraint_violated) → BLOCKConstraint Categories
Safety Constraints
Prevent harmful or dangerous actions. Examples include data deletion limits, system access restrictions, resource usage caps.
Resource Constraints
Control consumption of finite resources. Budget limits, API quotas, compute time, memory usage, rate limits.
Policy Constraints
Enforce organizational rules and regulations. Business policies, legal requirements, ethical guidelines, compliance standards.
Quality Constraints
Maintain output standards and performance levels. Accuracy thresholds, response time targets, completeness requirements.
