Have you (please tick each box to show completion):

• Added your blog post to a single category?
• Added a brief summary for your post? Summaries should be roughly two sentences in length and give potential readers a good idea of the contents of your post.
• Checked that the build passes?
• Checked your spelling (you can use npm install followed by npx mdspell "**/{FILE_NAME}.md" --en-gb -a -n -x -t if that's your thing)
• Ensured that your author profile contains a profile image, and a brief description of yourself? (make it more interesting than just your job title!)
• Optimised any images in your post? They should be less than 100KBytes as a general guide.

Great post - very useful advice. Added a few minor comments.

Regarding the title, I wonder whether a more vanilla title would work, perhaps "Choosing the Right Tool Safety Model for Coding Agents"
