Explanation

Validating agent compliance with output restrictions is the best technical safeguard because it enforces defined behavioral boundaries on what the AI can produce and act upon. This is a direct, enforceable control: if the agent's outputs are continuously checked against allowlists, policies, or safety rules, misuse is detected and blocked before harm occurs. Option B (allowing user configuration) increases risk by expanding attack surface. Option C (prohibiting manipulation) is a policy measure but harder to enforce than validation. Option D (limiting human review) removes an oversight layer, which increases rather than reduces risk.
