Credal.ai actually does this for Enterprise usecases today (disclaimer: i am the founder). We use mostly the MCP framework, but you can set rules for human in the loop (HITL) based on the arguments for a tool call. (e.g. sending an email to

while its clear that your testing team should have their own 5 Ys as well, I think its reasonable for the manager of your team asking you the question: how do we prevent this in the future? The unfortunate reality of large companies is th

I think the questions were 90-95% predictable/seen before from Founder, which is fair because most VCs want to understand the basics first. We must have met with 100-200 VCs when we actually did the raise, so after the first 50 or so,
