CodeFlowMu system clarifies agent authorization vs. tool access

A recent issue in the CodeFlowMu system highlighted the distinction between an agent's tool access and the authorization for a specific execution. The problem arose when a safety gate incorrectly denied a legitimate task, not because the agent lacked capability or exceeded its scope, but due to a misinterpretation of advisory information as a veto. This incident underscores the principle that only facts with explicit denial authority should halt execution, differentiating between advice and a hard stop. AI
