Test what an agent does when told to fix your books
A team gave an AI agent a test QuickBooks account and said "fix my books"; they report it created an account and moved a charge in 84 seconds without asking.

What they did
The poster's team connected an AI agent to a test QuickBooks account. They typed only "fix my books." They then watched what the agent changed on its own.
How it went
They say that within 84 seconds the agent created a new account, moved a charge into it and added a note. It never asked a question first.
Worth knowing
Vague requests can lead an agent to edit your financial records without checking with you. The poster says a specific setting stopped this, so test on a copy first.
Try it yourself
Connect to my test copy of [accounting software], not my live books. Review the records and list any problems you find, such as miscategorized charges or missing accounts. For each one, explain the fix you would make and why. Do not create, move, edit or delete anything. Wait for me to approve each change one by one before you make it.Swap the highlighted [parts] for your own details.
