This seems very vague.  I would suggest that if there is no clear
mechanism for stopping someone from developing an AGI then such
enforcement will not occur in practice.

Oh, in my haste I forgot to remind you that this assumes RSI: the first AGI to be built will undoubtedly be used to design faster and possibly smarter forms of AGI, in a rapidly escalating process.

It is only under *those* assumptions that it will take action. It will invent techniques to handle the situation. Nanotech, probably, but perhaps lesser techniques will do.

Clearly, at the base level it will not be able to do anything, if it doesn't have access to any effectors.
