Approval protects the moment of action. Reversibility protects what happens after. Classify agent work by whether you can undo it, and review earns a real target.

Human control, policy, evidence, and accountability for agents doing consequential work.
Approval protects the moment of action. Reversibility protects what happens after. Classify agent work by whether you can undo it, and review earns a real target.
When an agent takes a shortcut, operators should not have to guess why. A useful receipt explains the decision in plain language.
A message can request agent work without being allowed to invent the user, channel, permissions, or actions behind that work.
The choice is not full autonomy or manual control. Good operations give agents freedom inside clear, observable, consequence-aware boundaries.
If a runtime cannot tell you why it took the cheaper path, the savings number is not a reason to trust it.
