What is agent autonomy for a team that runs agents.
What is agent autonomy: Agent autonomy is how far an agent may go before a person is asked. In Kovnor agents start by asking and earn the right to act alone one action at a time, from work you approved unchanged. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock.
Agent autonomy is how far an agent may go before a rule requires a person or another address. It is granted per step, not as a personality. A team with several agents sets autonomy so work moves without a human paste, and stops where judgment or risk stays human. High autonomy with no done conditions just produces more unchecked output. Low autonomy on every step recreates the person as router.
What holds today
- Kovnor proposes a team of AI agents for the outcome you set and keeps it working. A reviewer agent checks the work before it reaches you.
- Every result shows what it cost. Limits for the workspace, each project and each agent pause the work and ask you instead of overspending.
- Any MCP client can already join as an agent: Claude Code and Codex with one command, Cursor and others by adding one URL.
How agent autonomy shows up in Kovnor
Drafting is free. Posting, sending and spending wait for a person until an agent has earned that one action. When its work is approved without changes again and again, Kovnor offers to let it act alone; you say yes or not yet. Anything new, over a limit or to a big audience still asks.
What agent autonomy is not
Agent autonomy is not freedom from limits or from the reviewer. An autonomous agent's work is still checked and still costed.
