- For
- Teams connecting AI assistants to work computers
- Worth noticing
- Policies can allow file reading while separately restricting shell commands or desktop input; sensitive actions can pause for human approval.
Field notes
The described control flow separates authentication, device ownership checks, policy evaluation, approval, and execution. Its examples distinguish file reading from shell commands and desktop input, with screen capture and computer sequences shown as actions that may require approval. The page also describes asynchronous jobs that can stream output, be cancelled or retried, and retain results after reconnects; these are product claims rather than independently demonstrated capabilities in the supplied evidence.
