| Approval model | For automations that send or publish, the maker recommends keeping Approval required on so Manus waits for confirmation, and Test run shows a real result first. Computer Use on the user's machine works only in a connected and authorized session with the files, browser and apps the user approved. | 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. |
