Agentic workflows choose their steps from context and reach enterprise systems through tools. This piece is not about what such an agent can do; it is about where the permission boundary should sit.
Short answer: the threshold follows reversibility, not difficulty. Every step that cannot be undone belongs to a human.
Technically an agent can call any tool it is wired to, so the capability question never shapes the design. The question that does: if this step goes wrong, can it be undone, who notices, and how long does the repair take?
Sorting actions into three buckets settles the question faster than debating them one by one. Reading and drafting can run free; state changes that can be undone run with a log; financial, legal or customer-facing steps wait for approval.
An approval screen does more than ask for a click. It shows which data the agent read, why it chose this step, and what the path back looks like. Approval without context transfers responsibility on paper only.
A permission threshold is tuned against real cases, not at a desk. In the first period the agent only proposes; its proposals are compared with human decisions. Where agreement is high the threshold moves up; where it is not, the workflow is corrected.
It would, which is why approval belongs only on steps that cannot be undone. With reading and drafting left free, most of the flow runs without interruption.
Crossing a defined boundary halts the flow, the action log is reviewed, and the previous version is restored if needed. This behavior is designed in from the start, not added after an incident.
Detailed enough to reconstruct the decision later: which data, which reason, who and when. 'The system said so' is not an explanation.
