Approval gates make a lot of sense, especially for high-impact actions. Most agent failures I've seen come from nothing stopping execution at all.

One scenario I'm curious about: how do you think about overnight or weekend runs when no one is around to approve? Human gates work well during business hours, but agents don't necessarily respect that clock.

Do you see Axon evolving toward hybrid controls — human approval for sensitive actions, plus automatic limits for volume or repetition?

Great question. You're right that pure human gates don't scale to 24/7 operations. AXON already handles this partially: you can set auto-approve per tool and per agent. Low-risk actions like web search run without asking, while high-risk actions like shell commands always require approval. There's also session-level approval — trust the agent for a specific task, then revoke. For the overnight scenario: scheduled tasks in AXON run at defined times and queue approvals if needed. You approve in the morning or via Telegram/Discord on your phone. But you're pointing at exactly where we're headed. Hybrid controls — rate limits, budget caps, automatic rollback on anomalies — are on the roadmap. The audit trail already captures everything, so adding automated rules on top of that data is the natural next step. The philosophy stays the same: default to human control, earn autonomy gradually.
