An artificial intelligence agent undo test evaluates an operation before assigning autonomy. It examines whether the previous state can be restored reliably and whether the action's possible impact remains within an acceptable boundary.
Recoverable, low-impact actions can receive more autonomy, while operations that fail silently or cannot be reversed need stronger approval and audit controls. The recovery claim should be tested rather than assumed.

Frequently asked questions
What questions does an AI agent undo test ask?
It asks whether the prior state can be restored, how recovery is verified and how large the impact would be if wrong.
How does the undo test affect agent autonomy?
Reliable recovery and low impact support more autonomy, while irreversible or broad changes require stronger human control.
