Re:Show HN: Axon – Open-source agentic AI with approval gate... by NeuroVexon on Thursday February 19, 2026 @03:32PM (#47078841)
Great question. You're right that pure human gates don't scale to 24/7 operations. AXON already handles this partially: you can set auto-approve per tool and per agent. Low-risk actions like web search run without asking, while high-risk actions like shell commands always require approval. There's also session-level approval — trust the agent for a specific task, then revoke. For the overnight scenario: scheduled tasks in AXON run at defined times and queue approvals if needed. You approve in the morning or via Telegram/Discord on your phone. But you're pointing at exactly where we're headed. Hybrid controls — rate limits, budget caps, automatic rollback on anomalies — are on the roadmap. The audit trail already captures everything, so adding automated rules on top of that data is the natural next step. The philosophy stays the same: default to human control, earn autonomy gradually.
