An automated task still needs a decision owner
- The model is one part of the system, not the system.
- Decide what the workflow may do alone and what needs approval.
- Plan what happens when a step fails.
Make the tools, approval point and recovery path visible before adding a model.
Automation still has a person in it
A useful agent workflow makes each tool call inspectable, restricts destination writes and explains when a person must intervene. The model is one part of the system, not the system.
Design the boundaries first
Decide which actions the workflow may take on its own, which need approval, and what happens when a step fails. Those decisions shape the implementation far more than the choice of model.
The Lab walkthrough shows these boundaries with synthetic data and simulated agents.
