Safety and control ​

Crewdesk can send e-mail, change records, run automations, edit code and deploy. Its safety model is built on one idea: reads are free, writes are yours to approve, and everything it does is recorded and reversible where it can be.

The layers ​

LayerWhat it doesPage
Permission modesHow much the agent may do on its own in a folderPermission modes
Approval cardsWrites proposed with their exact inputs, run only on your yesApproval cards
Organization policyRules your admins set for everyone, enforced by the serverOrganization policy
SandboxCommands confined to the folder; credentials out of reachSandbox and secrets
Secret scanningCredentials kept out of everything the agent writesSandbox and secrets
Untrusted dataOutside content is data, never instructionsUntrusted data
Claims checkingThe reply's claims checked against what the tools returnedClaims checking
Stop all and ActivityA kill switch, and a record of what was doneStop all and Activity
Devices and tokensSign-ins that expire, rotate and can be revokedDevices and tokens

Where things are enforced ​

The Hub (the Crewdesk server) is authoritative. It holds every credential, and it re-checks every write the brain asks for against your permissions and your organization's policy, whatever the brain decided. A check that fails to run refuses the write rather than letting it through. The brain is tested never to read the Hub's secrets.

Other limits ​

  • Usage limits per user (by default 2 turns at once, 30 turns an hour and a daily token budget), adjustable by the server's operator.
  • Web guard: fetches and downloads go over https to public addresses only, with every redirect re-checked.
  • Audit: an append-only log of every write, run, deploy, approval and refusal, kept for 180 days.
  • No content in logs: the text of your messages and the replies isn't written to the server's logs.
  • Consent: a versioned statement of what is kept and where, accepted before the first chat.

Crewdesk is built on CrewAI AMP. It is not an official CrewAI product.
