AI SAFETY & TRUST
An AI you can hold accountable
Every assistant action is checked against your role, waits for your confirmation when it is destructive, carries a trace id and lands in an append-only audit log. Money stays in integer cents.
Every change, on the record.
Every write, by you or by the assistant, is recorded with the request that caused it and the actor behind it. The whole log travels inside your data export.

Every line says where it came from
Each entry carries the request that produced it, so a change can be followed from the click to the row.
Who or what, never ambiguous
You, the assistant, a rule, an import or an API key. The log records the actor, not just the change.
Yours to take
The complete log travels inside your data export, in a format you can open.
Nothing rewrites it
Entries are only ever appended. The product has no path to edit one, and a scheduled prune is the only thing that ever removes one.
The same tools everywhere.
74 tools in the registry, 8 of them wait for your confirmation before anything changes. The assistant, the app, the API and MCP read the same list.

What holds the assistant to account.
The assistant, the web app, the public API and MCP call the same registry of tools. Each tool declares the lowest household role that may call it and the API scopes it needs, and the check runs on the server before anything executes: viewers get read tools only, editors and owners get writes, and a few deletions stay with the owner. A tool the model invents is refused the same way.
Destructive tools never run on the first call. They park a pending action with a prompt and a preview built from data the tool has already resolved, and wait for your yes; the registry refuses to boot if a destructive tool ships without a confirmation. Some writes ask too when the input warrants it: editing many rows at once, applying a rule to history, seeding a starter pack. A confirmation can be claimed once, so a retried request cannot run twice, and a cancelled action is recorded as cancelled.
Every change lands in the append-only audit log with who acted, from which surface, what changed and the request id behind it, and the log travels inside your data export. The models are Claude (Anthropic) and OpenAI, chosen per task, under token budgets per turn, per user per day and a monthly cap per household set by the owner; when a cap is hit the assistant stops and says so. Money is integer cents, so nothing is ever rounded away.

What each kind of tool has to pass.
Three kinds of tool, three gates. The answer does not depend on which surface asked.
Read
- Waits for confirmation
- No
- Needs editor or owner
- No
- Written to the audit log
Write
- Waits for confirmation
- For some inputs
- Needs editor or owner
- Yes
- Written to the audit log
- Yes
Destructive

- Yes
- Written to the audit log
- Yes
Checked on the server for every call, whichever surface asked.
Previews are structured data the tool already knows (resolved names, icons, sample rows); a hallucinated preview defeats the point of confirming.
Trust, with receipts
Let the assistant help while every move stays role-checked, confirmed, traceable and reversible.
