You decide how much rope the agent gets. Three autonomy levels run from “propose everything, I do the work” to “act on your own” — and at every level, the actions that could damage the site still wait for you.
In one lineSet the autonomy level in Agent Settings. Destructive tasks always need your approval, whatever level you choose.
The three autonomy levels
| Level | What the agent may do |
|---|---|
proposethe default |
Proposes only. You approve and you do the work yourself. Nothing is executed. |
approvedrecommended |
You approve tasks; the agent does the work. Nothing runs that you did not tick. |
full |
It approves and executes its own non-destructive proposals. Destructive types still stop and ask. |
The default is the most cautious of the three, and that is a reasonable place to sit for a fortnight. Read what it proposes and how it justifies each one; move to approved when the proposals stop surprising you.
Destructive tasks never auto-run
This is the rule that does not bend. Trashing posts and creating redirects always require your explicit approval — including on full. There is no setting that lets the agent delete something unattended.
Two further protections sit behind that:
- Deletes are recoverable trash only. An approved delete moves the post to the WordPress trash. It is never a permanent removal, so an approval you regret is undoable from the Posts screen.
- Destructive proposals are marked. They carry a warning badge in the task list, so the ones that need real thought are visually separated from the ones that do not.
Every proposal states its reasoning
A proposal is not just an instruction — it carries the evidence that produced it, drawn from your own numbers. A typical one reads like:
Add a comparison table to “Best Space Heaters”
Rationale: 412 visits in 30 days, 0 Amazon clicks. The page ranks but gives no way to buy.
That shape is the point. You are not being asked to trust a black box; you are being shown a number you can verify and a conclusion you can disagree with. If the rationale does not hold up, reject it — that is a useful signal, not a failure.
What happens after you approve
An approved task joins a queue and is executed one per heartbeat, under daily pacing caps, so approving ten things does not produce ten changes in the next quarter of an hour:
| Cap | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| New posts per day | 2 |
At most two articles written per day, however long the queue is. |
| Updates per day | 3 |
At most three existing posts revised per day. |
| Open proposals | 20 |
It stops proposing while this many wait on you, rather than burying you. |
Tasks move through proposed to approved to done, or to rejected if you turn them down. Nothing skips a state, so the log always shows what happened and when.
Written articles land as drafts
By default an executed writing task is saved as a draft, not published. The agent does the work; you keep the final say on what appears on the site. You can change that in Agent Settings if you would rather it published directly, but leaving it on drafts is the sane default while you are learning what its output looks like.
Approving a writing task is not the same as publishing it. Two separate decisions, with the draft sitting between them — and the second one is always yours unless you deliberately change the setting.
Approving from your phone
Connect Telegram and proposals arrive there with inline buttons, so a task can be approved or rejected without opening wp-admin. The site keeps moving while you are away from the desk, and the same rules apply — a destructive task asks in exactly the same way.
Common questions
Can the agent publish something I did not approve?
Not on the default level, where it executes nothing at all. On the higher levels it acts only on approved tasks, or — on full auto — on its own non-destructive proposals. Written articles still land as drafts unless you change that setting.
What if I reject something? Will it keep asking?
Rejections are recorded, and the freshness guard separately stops recently-updated posts being re-proposed. If a whole category of task is not for you, turning it off is better than rejecting it repeatedly.
Can I undo an approved delete?
Yes. Deletes execute as recoverable trash only, so the post is in your WordPress trash and can be restored like any other.
Is full auto safe to leave running?
It is bounded — destructive tasks still wait for you, the daily caps still apply, and the monthly budget is a hard cap. Whether it is right for you depends on how much you like its proposals, which is why the cautious default exists.
