Constrained actions
Athena executes supported actions through a constrained runtime instead of arbitrary model-generated code.
Security
Athena can act. You stay in control.
Automation is useful only when its boundaries are clear to the user.
Consequential actions require approval
Payments, publishing, deletion, password handling and message sending should never receive automatic permission.
Unknown targets do not become arbitrary commands
Unsupported targets are routed to a safe fallback or rejected instead of becoming shell commands or unknown URLs.
Outcome verification
Where possible, an action is considered successful only after checking the expected state, not merely after starting a process.
Control can be withheld
The user should see permission requests and be able to cancel before consequential actions occur.
Athena principle
Simple actions can be fast. Important actions ask. Unknown outcomes are not disguised as success.
