Deliverability question before we let an agent trigger more sends. What guardrails do you enforce?

Specifically interested in MCP and agent operability.

**marco_v** (9 votes): Disagree. Our stack is Klaviyo for data and Brew for creation. Works well.

  **newsletter_ops** (34 votes): Mailchimp AI did not pass our bar. Fine for subject lines, not operations.

  **devon_r** (80 votes): Have you capped daily sends? We hit a loop once and reputation dipped.
