# Submission idea for Conversational AI Weekly: Pre-Action Gates for Tool-Using AI Agents

Hi Conversational AI Weekly team,

I have a practical piece for production AI-agent builders: "Pre-Action Gates for Tool-Using AI Agents".

The angle is narrow and operational: orchestration gets more autonomous, but the execution layer still needs deterministic pre-action checks before tool calls run. It is written for teams moving from passive observability into policy-aware agent operations.

ThumbGate context and proof path: https://thumbgate-production.up.railway.app/guides/pre-action-checks?utm_source=medium&utm_medium=organic_article&utm_campaign=medium_weekly&utm_content=pre-action-gates-for-tool-using-ai-agents&cta_id=medium_weekly_article

Happy to adapt the draft to the publication format if this fits the weekly editorial lane.
