Description

Cross-posting from https://github.com/posit-dev/clinical-trials-agent/issues/7.

Would you be willing to consider an optional way to restrict the tool set to just user-defined measures? If the user opts in, the security and governance issues automatically disappear, and the agent can easily follow strict trusted mini-agent rules.

With clinical-trials-agent specifically, my team and I usually need to restrict the set of analyses to ones we trust, and not let the agent write custom analysis code. Analyses are almost always pre-specified in a statistical analysis plan (SAP), and we have formal standards to run them. Analysts are in a hurry and need to run hundreds of these, and I would have a hard time having confidence in most users to pause and think about the different levels of trust of the results.
