Deterministic workers
Known transformations, validations, deployments, and repeatable operational steps should use deterministic implementations when practical.
Platform / Execution
Deterministic first. Intelligent where useful.
ILAIOS is designed to prefer predictable execution when a deterministic path exists, while using AI and agent capabilities as bounded tools inside governed workflows.
Execution model
Choose the least ambiguous path that can do the job.
Bounded intelligence
Model-driven capabilities are introduced where interpretation, generation, or reasoning adds value, but remain inside explicit permissions and contracts.
Tool constraints
Execution targets, allowed tools, inputs, and side effects can be restricted by policy instead of being left to model discretion.
Recovery paths
Failures should surface as explicit states that can be inspected, retried, escalated, or recovered without hiding the underlying cause.
Operating principle
Autonomy is a capability, not the default authority model.
The platform direction separates the ability to invoke intelligent systems from the authority to approve and execute sensitive actions.
