The operating problem

Where the process breaks.

Repetitive requests consume the same lookup, authentication, and tool steps on every ticket. A useful agent must resolve bounded work while escalating policy-sensitive or uncertain cases with enough context for a human to continue immediately.

Governed execution

How the work runs.

Order remains explicit from trigger to decision. Every step runs inside the tools, data scope, and policy assigned to this workflow.

  1. 01Trigger

    Request arrives

    The ticket supplies the channel, customer identity, conversation, and service context.

  2. 02Agent

    Intent and identity are checked

    The agent classifies the request, evaluates confidence, and invokes configured identity checks.

  3. 03Agent

    Resolution is prepared

    The workflow retrieves approved knowledge and account context, then proposes or executes bounded actions.

  4. 04System

    Bounded cases resolve

    A high-confidence, in-policy branch can execute a configured low-risk action and record its result.

  5. 05Human

    Sensitive cases end with a human

    Low-confidence, policy-sensitive, refund, and exception cases end with a context-rich human handoff.

Decision boundary

Human approval is the boundary.

The approval node is terminal today. A post-approval send or write happens only through a separate manual or newly triggered continuation.

Required decision

A human receives every low-confidence, policy-sensitive, refund, and exception case as the terminal step for that branch.

Approval recorded

Actor, decision, edits, and timestamp join the receipt.

Separate continuation

External write

Nothing resumes silently after the human decision.

Proof of execution

Execution receipt.

The output is not just a result. It carries the trigger, evidence, proposed actions, decision, and final workflow state.

Policy before autonomy

Guardrails for this run.

  • Confidence and policy thresholds determine when a human must take over.

  • Refund and exception actions require explicit approval.

  • Knowledge answers retain citations to the retrieved source.

  • Tool permissions limit each workflow to approved read and write actions.
