Governed autonomy for real teams

Let agents act without letting them wander. Policy, connectors, and human checkpoints beat shadow IT and mystery automations.

Autonomy without governance is just risk with good marketing

Teams want agents that act. Security and finance want proof of boundaries. The winning design gives both: scoped tools, explicit secrets, rate limits, and human-visible automation—not a single god-mode API key in a shared doc.

Policy beats hope

In Smart AI Team, connectors and capabilities are allowlisted per workspace. Agents do not invent new integrations mid-flight. Outbound MCP and workspace APIs inherit the same posture: paid plans, keys, audit, and IP controls where you need them.

  • Secrets stay in the tenant runtime broker, not in prompt text.
  • Cron and pulse jobs are listed, editable, and attributable to an agent.
  • Untrusted web and tool output is treated as untrusted—defense is part of the runtime, not an honor system.

Roll out like any other production system

Start with read-only or draft-only automations, add write access per connector, and keep a human checkpoint on external sends. Your future self (and your security reviewer) will thank you.
