| Approval model | Auto Review evaluates tool calls and computer actions before they run, with user rules set to Ask first or Allow automatically; Ask first wins when both match. Before actions it cannot undo, such as sending, posting, buying or deleting, a Bot checks for approval; emails go out from draft cards and purchases show an Allow or Deny card. Running commands on the user's own computer defaults to Ask every time. | Muse checks with the user before sensitive actions such as sending an email or making a purchase and shows an audit trail of past and planned actions. A separate Sentinel agent must approve anything Muse sends to the internet and asks the user when needed. Users set per-app access, and Muse cannot see stored passwords or payment details. |
