# Supervised Agent Systems

Supervised automation

Design agent systems around named tools, triggers, approved knowledge, permissions, human approvals, bounded actions, and an inspectable audit trail.

## Unscoped automation can take actions nobody can reconstruct, authorize, or reverse.

Agent systems are useful when a workflow has a named owner, a limited set of tools, and a human decision at every consequential step.

### A bounded action loop

- Name the tools the agent may use and the systems those tools cannot reach.
- Start only from an explicit human request or a documented trigger.
- Retrieve knowledge from an approved source subset and retain its provenance.
- Apply permissions to both the acting user and the agent identity.
- Require approval before a consequential, external, or irreversible action.
- Record the input, tool call, decision, reviewer, and result in an audit trail.

### Where the pattern fits

- Research triage: A reviewer owns the question and the agent prepares source-linked options. Boundary: The agent does not publish findings or contact external parties on its own.
- Exception routing: Known rules and accountable owners already exist for the exception types. Boundary: The agent routes and explains the case; it does not make the customer commitment.

### Not included by default

- No productized connector catalog is implied by a described tool pattern.
- No unsupervised operation, universal task coverage, or hidden system access.
- A prototype workflow is not evidence of production reliability.

### Synthetic agent action loop

Synthetic illustration of the design sequence. It uses no client, dashboard, or production trace.

| Step | Stage | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Tools | Name the tools the agent may use and the systems those tools cannot reach. |
| 2 | Trigger | Start only from an explicit human request or a documented trigger. |
| 3 | Knowledge | Retrieve knowledge from an approved source subset and retain its provenance. |
| 4 | Permissions | Apply permissions to both the acting user and the agent identity. |
| 5 | Approval | Require approval before a consequential, external, or irreversible action. |
| 6 | Audit | Record the input, tool call, decision, reviewer, and result in an audit trail. |
