Why Agents Act Autonomously
- •Agents execute predefined responsibilities without making decisions outside their scope.
- •Each agent has specific tasks defined in their workflow steps, ensuring predictable behavior.
- •Agents follow programmed logic to complete routine, well-defined operations quickly.
- •In this scenario, 5 of 6 steps (83%) are automated, handling repetitive tasks efficiently.
👤
When Humans Are Required
- •Human intervention is triggered when confidence drops below safety thresholds (typically 60%).
- •Critical decisions requiring judgment, ethics, or strategic thinking always require human review.
- •Edge cases that fall outside agent training data pause the workflow for human assessment.
- •This scenario has 1 designated human review point to ensure quality and safety.
📊
How Confidence System Works
- •Workflows start with an initial confidence score of 92%, representing system certainty.
- •Successful automated steps typically increase confidence (e.g., +5% for validation).
- •Complex operations or detected anomalies decrease confidence (e.g., -10% for edge cases).
- •When confidence drops below 60%, the system pauses for human review to restore certainty.
- •Human decisions can adjust confidence based on their assessment (+5% approve, +10% correct).
🛡️
Safety Mechanisms Built-In
- •Mandatory pause points prevent runaway automation and ensure human oversight.
- •Confidence thresholds act as circuit breakers, stopping workflows that become uncertain.
- •Decision history tracking creates audit trails for compliance and learning.
- •Error handling stops workflows gracefully rather than proceeding with bad data.
- •Workflow validation ensures all steps have assigned agents and valid configurations.
