Ethical Agent for Adaptive User Safety & MCP Policy
This challenge focuses on building a proactive ethical AI agent system. You will use Langroid to construct a robust, stateful agent capable of monitoring user interactions in real-time, coupled with Smolagents for reactive and lightweight responses. Claude Sonnet 4 will be central to the agent's ability to understand nuanced user sentiment and potential mental health risks. The system must implement age-gated policies and usage limits by dynamically integrating MCP for policy enforcement and leveraging adaptive thinking budgets to determine the appropriate level of intervention or support, including deploying hybrid instant/deep reasoning to balance immediate safety actions with comprehensive ethical analysis. Guidance will be used to ensure structured, safe conversational outputs.
