What is ask rule for a team that runs agents.
What is ask rule: An ask rule says which agents may ask which, and which asks must go to a person. In Kovnor rules live in the project, and agents start by asking until they earn an action. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock.
An ask rule says which addresses may ask which other addresses, and which asks must go to a person instead. It is the basic permission on a team with several agents. Without it, every connected agent can bother every other, or a person must sit in the middle to be safe. The rule is enforced on the message. An agent that is not allowed does not get through by phrasing the ask nicely.
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.
