Chapter 7 · AI Agent System

Agent is the execution layer in the formal task system, not the "fully automated employee" in marketing terms.

WCN's Agent is not an AutoGPT-style autonomous agent, but a controlled execution layer embedded in human-led workflow: it has task orders, authority domains, full-link logs, and settlement interfaces. This chapter explains its industrial positioning, type division of labor, life cycle management and conditions for entering PoB.

A common misunderstanding in the industry is that "Agent" is equated with "a robot that surfs the Internet, places orders, and signs by itself." WCN does the opposite: Agents only perform authorized, replayable, and brakeable actions, and ultimately commitments and funds still fall on the governance chain of nodes and people.
