FAQs
What is an Agent Charter?
An Agent Charter is a formal document defining the capabilities, boundaries, and permissions of an autonomous or semi-autonomous entity in the system.
How are permissions managed?
Permissions are managed through explicit allowlists and mandatory approval gates for sensitive operations like destructive actions or credentials changes.
What happens when an agent needs to perform an unapproved action?
The agent must stop execution and escalate the request to the appropriate human or higher-level system for mandatory approval before proceeding.
Who oversees the Agent Charters?
Agent Charters are authorized and overseen by the Product Owner (PO) or equivalent governance entity, ensuring alignment with business policies.
Can new tools be added to a charter dynamically?
No. All tools must be explicitly allowlisted in the charter prior to use. Dynamic tool addition requires a formal update to the charter itself.
