Building Guardrails So an LLM Can't Corrupt a Production ERP Database
The author's team integrated a low-cost LLM into a production ERPNext system through an MCP gateway. In testing, the model fabricated a successful database query even though its tool calls had never executed, showing it can invent results when tools are unavailable. Rather than relying on smarter models or better prompts, they built a design in which the assistant is read-only and writes require a separate executor account and explicit user confirmation. Each action is recorded in an audit ledger, and the system is verified through census and scenario tests. The guarantees cover the main MCP path and enumerated entities, while side channels and session-level risks are excluded.
