You provide
Responsibilities, tasks to delegate, available tools and the boundaries set by your business.
MAES CORE
Assign a task. Set its boundaries.
MAES Core defines the shared framework for people, AI agents and tools: who may act, for which task and with what permissions, throughout the project.
Your business defines the roles, permissions and approvals required.
In development
Tell us what you needWhat the software does
It defines a specific authorisation for each task: objective, scope, permitted tools and stop conditions. This authorisation is called a mandate.
You approve
The responsible person grants the required permissions. Actions beyond the task must follow the defined approval process.
You receive
A verifiable framework: an identified actor, a defined task, limited permissions and a named approver.
MAKE IT CONCRETE
Allow testing without authorising a release.
A fictional example showing what the software does. This is not a software interface.
MAES Core Example record
- The task
- Test the back-in-stock alert in the test shop.
- The boundary
- The agent cannot change the live shop or contact customers.
- The approval
- Going live requires the permissions defined for that separate action.
Each action records who carried it out, whether a person or an AI agent, along with its date, context, rationale and supporting evidence.
WORKING WITH OTHER MAES SOFTWARE
The project continues.
MAES Core provides a shared framework for all MAES software. The framework applies throughout analysis, construction, checks and improvements.
