11. Recent Critical Updates (2026-02-24)
Tool Gating & Policy Implementation
Problem: AI was responding to simple queries like "2+2" with portfolio analysis instead of direct answers.
Solution Implemented:
- ✅ Planner unknown-intent fallback returns no tools (
[])
- ✅ Executor policy gate with deterministic routes (
direct|tools|clarify)
- ✅ Read-only allowlist for portfolio tools
- ✅ Rebalance confirmation logic
- ✅ Policy verification telemetry
- ✅ Fixed false numerical warnings on no-tool routes
Files Changed:
ai-agent.utils.ts:257 - Planner returns [] for unknown intent
ai-agent.policy.utils.ts:84 - Policy gate implementation
ai.service.ts:160,177 - Policy gate wired into runtime
ai-agent.verification.helpers.ts:12 - No-tool route fix
ai-observability.service.ts:366 - Policy telemetry
Verification:
npm run test:ai # 44 tests passing
npm run test:mvp-eval # 2 tests passing (53 eval cases)
npx nx run api:lint # Passing
Policy Routes
The policy now correctly routes queries:
| Query Type |
Route |
Example |
| Simple arithmetic |
direct |
"2+2", "what is 5*3" |
| Greetings |
direct |
"hi", "hello", "thanks" |
| Portfolio queries |
tools |
"analyze my portfolio" |
| Rebalance without confirmation |
clarify |
"rebalance my portfolio" |
| Rebalance with confirmation |
tools |
"yes, rebalance to 60/40" |

16. Recommended Next Steps
For Final Submission
-
Create Demo Video (priority: HIGH)
- Screen recording of agent in action
- Show tool execution, citations, verification
- Show eval results and observability
- Explain architecture briefly
- Duration: 3-5 minutes
-
Write Social Post (priority: HIGH)
- Platform: X or LinkedIn
- Content: Feature summary, demo link, screenshots
- Must tag @GauntletAI
- Keep concise and engaging
-
Publish Open-Source Package (priority: MEDIUM)
- Option A:
npm publish for eval package
- Option B: PR to Ghostfolio with agent features
- Document the contribution
Optional Improvements
- Add more real-world failing prompts to quality eval
- Fine-tune policy patterns based on user feedback
- Add more granular cost tracking with real telemetry
- Consider LangGraph migration for complex multi-step workflows
