What Does 'Suggestion-Only Agent' Mean?

[ SLANG ][ AI ][ AGENT ]

FORCE: Machine CultureUNIVERSE: Agent CultureCLUSTER: AI Coding Tools

An AI agent deliberately restricted to proposing actions without executing them autonomously, requiring explicit human approval for every step, distinct from an agent-driven workflow by describing a specific trust/permission configuration.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"We keep it suggestion-only for anything touching production, it proposes the change but a person has to approve every step."

LORE & ORIGIN

Named directly within agent maturity discussions as teams began explicitly distinguishing this cautious, human-approval-gated configuration from fuller autonomous agent-driven workflows, especially for higher-risk tasks.
