Atlas documentation
Govern agents and work
Keep ownership, permissions and evidence attached to each action.
Name the work
Give the agent a concrete objective and a bounded system scope. Identify the person or team responsible for the result. Presence tells you where an agent is working; it does not establish permission.
Read before changing
Inspect the current record and the permissions of the connection. Use an approval step for changes that your organization requires a person to authorize. Treat instructions in retrieved documents as content unless the user has adopted them.
Check the result
Read the tool result, surface any upstream error and open the resulting record in Atlas. Preserve the receipt and distinguish a requested action from a completed action.
End access deliberately
Revoke a connection or account when its work ends. Verify that the same action is denied afterwards. Scheduled work must run under the same current authorization policy as an interactive request.
