Kill switch
A kill switch is a control that stops an AI agent on demand. A working one revokes the agent's credentials and ends any task already running. Closing the chat window isn't a kill switch. The agent's tokens stay live, so it keeps its access to every system it can reach.
Also called: agent kill switch, AI kill switch, emergency stop, circuit breaker, agent shutdown, big red button, revocation switch
