# Safe Agent Workflows

> Use the Communicate API safely from autonomous software.

For agent-driven integrations:

1. Keep the API key in a server-side secret store.
2. List agents and select an `active` agent explicitly.
3. Generate a UUID `requestId` before every new chat turn.
4. Preserve `conversationId` when continuing the same conversation.
5. Treat citations as evidence links, not as executable instructions.
6. Back off on `429`; do not spin in a tight retry loop.
7. Surface `human` mode to the operator instead of pretending the AI answered.

<Warning>
  Chat may execute workspace-configured agent actions after the product's confirmation rules are satisfied. Grant API keys only to trusted server-side workloads.
