Folium framework
Agents should earn authority one action class at a time.
This planning framework separates what an agent may read, draft, route, update, send, execute, delete, escalate, or refuse.
Why it matters
This framework gives the buyer a language for the decision.
Agent risk usually appears when permissions are hidden inside tool access. A visible matrix lets business, IT, security, and operations review authority before action.
How to use it
01
Name the role
Define what job the agent performs and who owns its behavior.
02
Classify actions
Separate read, summarize, draft, route, queue, update, send, execute, delete, and blocked actions.
03
Gate authority
Attach data class, approval owner, log requirement, and rollback plan to each action.
Operating rubric
What weak and strong states look like.
Read
Weak state Agent can see broad sources.
Target state Sources are scoped by role, data class, and task.
Draft
Weak state Drafts are treated as ready.
Target state Drafts show source, confidence, and review owner.
Execute
Weak state Tool calls happen without clear approval.
Target state State-changing actions are gated, logged, and reversible where possible.
Retire
Weak state Agents stay alive forever.
Target state Lifecycle includes experimental, promoted, parked, rollback, and retired states.

FAQ
How buyers should read the framework.
Should agents start with execution authority?
Usually no. The first useful lane can be observe, summarize, draft, classify, route, or queue.
Who should approve the matrix?
The workflow owner, technical owner, and any security, legal, compliance, or support reviewers required by the action risk.
