Are bounded AI proposals the same as workflow automation?

It gives AI a useful output without granting mutation authority. The host can validate fresh truth, show the proposal to an operator, reject stale work, execute under existing permissions, and reconcile the outcome.

Why this goes wrong

Workflow automation assumes the transition is already authorized. An AI recommendation may still be ambiguous, incomplete, or based on context that changed after generation.

How Tonetify handles it

Govern records proposal identity, evidence, lifecycle, and delivery. The host owns the workflow that reviews and executes it. This boundary makes retries and accountability explicit.

Before you implement

01Define what the proposal may contain
02Revalidate before execution
03Keep policy in the host
04Return the final lifecycle outcome
