Answer
In Subscriber Bot[1], how much an AI agent can do on its own depends on the operating posture and conditional policies you assign to it. Each agent in your workspace is set to one of three postures: Disabled, Suggest-only, or Autonomous.
Under the Suggest-only posture, agents can monitor your portfolio, triage inbox notices, flag anomalies, and draft recommendations, but they cannot mutate records or cancel services on their own. Any suggested change remains queued in the run history until you review and approve it.

In the Governed AI Agents and Autonomy Controls concept[2], agents are bounded by plain conditional policies (for example, flagging services for cancellation if unused for 90 days over a set spend threshold). Each rule carries specific action tags, enable switches, and full audit logs.

To safeguard your accounts, Subscriber Bot enforces a fail-closed autonomy interlock[3]. While the full policy-enforcement engine and confirmation interlocks are rolling out, the autonomous posture is locked by default so agents operate safely in Suggest-only mode. All agent actions execute as standard workspace-scoped API calls and remain fully auditable.
You can learn more about setting boundaries and creating custom rules on the Autonomous Subscription Management use case[4].
