Actions: letting the AI do things, not just answer

Typed tools, with a confirmation step when it matters.

An Action lets the agent call something in your system — look up an order, check a subscription — and use the result in its answer.

How it is defined

Each action has a name, a description the model reads to decide when to use it, and typed inputs. The description does the work: it is how the model knows this action is the right one.

Auto or confirm

Every action has a policy:

  • Auto — the agent runs it whenever it judges it relevant
  • Confirm — the visitor sees exactly what is about to happen and approves it first

Use confirm for anything that changes state or touches money.

The audit trail

Every run is recorded — which action, what inputs, what came back, how long it took. Nothing runs invisibly.
