07 / Selection & safety
From request to verified result.
Tool choice follows the task, available context, and permission policy at every step.
- 01
Policy check
Friday decides whether a tool is useful and keeps direct answers tool-free.
- 02
Candidate filtering
Permission boundaries narrow the available files, commands, accounts, and services.
- 03
Ranking
The assistant chooses the tool that best fits the requested outcome and current context.
- 04
Approval
Sensitive writes, deletions, publishing, messages, and private data access pause for confirmation.
- 05
Verification
Friday checks the result and returns a concrete answer, artifact, or completed action.
Permissioned actions
Friday acts, but you stay in control.
The assistant will not send messages, change records, delete data, or touch production systems without clear authorization.
