Trust & approvals
Weavin is built around one rule, and everything on this page is a consequence of it.
The one rule
It never spends money and never takes an irreversible action without asking you first. Sending something external, issuing a refund, changing a price, deleting data — these always stop and wait for your explicit approval. Reversible work it simply does, with a record you can check.
Where you approve things
Approvals meet you wherever you are:
- In chat — an approval card appears in the conversation; approve or decline inline
- In Needs you — pending approvals collect on one list, so nothing depends on you having seen a particular conversation
- During a run — a running task pauses at the step that needs you, and continues the moment you answer
Declining is always safe: the action simply doesn't happen, and your avatar moves on.
Standing permissions
When you approve the same kind of action again and again, your avatar remembers. You'll see Approved N times before on repeats, and a much-repeated approval can become a connection grant — a standing permission, earned one action at a time, that skips the ask for that specific action.
Three things keep this honest:
- Grants are made of your explicit approvals — never assumed, never bundled
- Grants belong to your account and are listed in your avatar's Trust panel, grouped by connection — you can revoke any of them, any time, and revoking shows you which avatars it affects before you confirm
- Spending and irreversible actions in new territory still ask, no matter how much has been approved before
The result over time: it asks a little less, and the final say always stays with you.
It keeps receipts
The Trust panel also shows the record behind the relationship: moments a guardrail stepped in, corrections you've made, and a track record of how each skill has changed with your approval. You don't have to take its word for anything — the history is there to check.
What it never does
- It never logs in as you. Site logins you store stay in your control, and it never asks you for a password in chat.
- A connection offering a permission is not the same as you granting it. Weavin checks your rules before every action, regardless of what a connected tool says it can do.
- It never approves things for you. An expired ask is declined, not assumed.
