Who gave this agent the authority to do this?

A model can intend an action. A payment or a record change still needs authority for that action, at that moment.

All notes

The useful question is not whether the model was confident. It is whether this agent may perform this action, on behalf of this principal, under the authority that applies right now.

When that authority is sufficient, the action may proceed. When it is not, a named person can authorize it. The reason is written. So is a refusal.

The systems you already run stay. Nexus sits on the authority decision before the action executes.

Discuss an autonomous workflow.

One workflow. See the authority decision before anything is live.
