We see the same failure mode outside coding agents.
in Salesforce and ERP work, an agent that can create records, change prices, or open cases will happily invent a second "status" field, duplicate a customer, or overwrite a rule that lived in a 2-year-old note. AGENTS.md helps, but it is not enough
what actually reduces damage is the same as with a junior hire: clear stop rules, a human who owns the exception, and no write access until the process and data are already clean. Otherwise you get 24/7 work and 24/7 new mess
