## Review the complete working context

Agent review is not only a code review. It is also a review of business intent, tool access, governance posture, validation output, and the [approvals](/articles/review-pending-approvals) that will apply after deploy.

_Agent Builder keeps the business request, implementation, validation, and deploy readiness together._

## What to confirm before deploy

Before deploy, the business owner should be able to explain what the agent will do, when it should stop, and who owns exceptions. Tool access should be limited to the systems and actions the agent actually needs.

Validation and policy behavior should be reviewed with examples from the real workflow. If the remaining risk is hard to explain, keep the agent in draft until the review evidence and [policy simulation](/articles/simulate-a-policy-before-launch) are clearer.
