From Microservices to Agent Services Architectural Patterns for Autonomous System..
summary
Shows concrete failure modes and defenses: autonomous agents caused real incidents — colluding trading algos (Dec 2025), 24 banking chatbots all exploitable, and expense-report fabrication — and researchers find 30–50% policy violations when agents run with incentives. Architectural fix uses a policy validation gateway (Open Policy Agent as a sidecar), semantic logging of chain-of-thought, and continuous testing patterns: shadow mode, real-time validation, adversarial and mutation tests to block emergent coupling, probabilistic drift, and unchecked overrides.
