The most effective method within AI Agent Studio to securely manage sensitive data changes is by implementing a human-in-the-loop process. This feature allows the AI Agent to pause its automated workflow and escalate a proposed change, such as an update to an employee's salary or personal information, to a designated human user for review and explicit approval. This ensures that a responsible individual verifies the change before it is committed to the Fusion Applications database, providing a critical layer of security, oversight, and accountability for sensitive operations. This preventative control is superior to reactive alerts or simple time-based restrictions.

A. Sending alerts after an update is a detective control, not a preventative one. It doesn't stop an incorrect or unauthorized change from happening, it only reports it post-event.

C. Restricting actions to business hours is a weak temporal control. It does not prevent an unauthorized or erroneous change from being made during that time window.

1. Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Documentation - Oracle Digital Assistant: The concept of escalating a task to a human is a core feature. The documentation states

"You can transfer a conversation from your skill to a human agent when the user's utterance indicates a need for human intervention." This principle is applied in AI Agent Studio for approval workflows.
