What is escalation rule for a team that runs agents.
What is escalation rule: An escalation rule says which situations must leave the agents and reach a person. In Kovnor anything new, over a limit or to a big audience always escalates. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock. You are asked only when it takes a person, in Waiting on you.
An escalation rule says which situations must leave the agents and land with a person. It is a person rule aimed at the moment agents would otherwise keep handing work onward. Examples are a failed check the team does not want retried blindly, or a step they never delegated. Several agents make the rule necessary, because each one will continue if nothing stops the handoff. The rule should be specific. Escalate everything and Waiting on you becomes the job.
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.
